+Binary packages of bup are known to be built for the following OSes:
+
+ - Debian:

+Using bup

+
- Try making a local backup as a tar file:
tar -cvf - /etc | bup split -n local-etc -vv
Notes on FreeBSD
-================
+----------------
- FreeBSD's default 'make' command doesn't like bup's Makefile. In order to
compile the code, run tests and install bup, you need to install GNU Make
