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
       remote 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.
