NAME

bup init - initialize a bup repository

SYNOPSIS

[BUP_DIR=localpath] bup init [-r host:path]

DESCRIPTION

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.

OPTIONS

-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).
