NAME
bup-server - the server side of the bup client-server relationship
SYNOPSIS
bup server
DESCRIPTION
bup server is the server side of a remote bup session. If you use
bup-split(1) or bup-save(1) with the -r option, they will ssh to the re-
mote server and run bup server to receive the transmitted objects.
There is normally no reason to run bup server yourself.
MODES
smart In this mode, the server checks each incoming object against the
idx files in its repository. If any object already exists, it
tells the client about the idx file it was found in, allowing the
client to download that idx and avoid sending duplicate data.
This is bup-server’s default mode.
dumb In this mode, the server will not check its local index before
writing an object. To avoid writing duplicate objects, the
server will tell the client to download all of its .idx files at
the start of the session. This mode is useful on low powered
server hardware (ie router/slow NAS).
FILES
$BUP_DIR/bup-dumb-server
Activate dumb server mode, as discussed above. This file is not
created by default in new repositories.
