NAME
       bup - Backup program using rolling checksums and	git file formats

SYNOPSIS
       bup [global options...]	<command> [options...]

DESCRIPTION
       bup  is	a  program for making backups of your files using the git file
       format.

       Unlike git(1) itself, bup is optimized for handling huge	data sets  in-
       cluding	individual  very  large	files (such a virtual machine images).
       However,	once a backup set is created, it can still be  accessed	 using
       git tools.

       The individual bup subcommands appear in	their own man pages.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

       -d, --bup-dir=BUP_DIR
	      use  the given BUP_DIR parameter as the bup repository location,
