7 bup-init - initialize a bup repository
11 [BUP_DIR=*localpath*] bup init [-r *host*:*path*]
15 `bup init` initializes your local bup repository. You
16 usually don't need to run it unless you have set BUP_DIR
17 explicitly. By default, BUP_DIR is `~/.bup` and will be
18 initialized automatically whenever you run any bup command.
22 -r, --remote=*host*:*path*
23 : Initialize not only the local repository, but also the
24 remote repository given by the *host* and *path*. This is
25 not necessary if you intend to back up to the default
26 location on the server (ie. a blank *path*). The connection to the
27 remote server is made with SSH. If you'd like to specify which port, user
28 or private key to use for the SSH connection, we recommend you use the
39 `bup-fsck`(1), `ssh_config`(5)
43 Part of the `bup`(1) suite.
