bup-init - initialize a bup repository
[BUP_DIR=localpath] bup init [-r host:path]
bup init initializes your local bup repository. You
usually don't need to run it unless you have set BUP_DIR
explicitly. By default, BUP_DIR is ~/.bup and will be
initialized automatically whenever you run any bup command.
-r, --remote=host:path
: Initialize not only the local repository, but also the
remote repository given by the host and path. This is
not necessary if you intend to back up to the default
location on the server (ie. a blank path). The connection to the
remote server is made with SSH. If you'd like to specify which port, user
or private key to use for the SSH connection, we recommend you use the
~/.ssh/config file.
