7 bup-server - the server side of the bup client-server relationship
15 `bup server` is the server side of a remote bup session.
16 If you use `bup-split`(1) or `bup-save`(1) with the `-r`
17 option, they will ssh to the remote server and run `bup
18 server` to receive the transmitted objects.
20 There is normally no reason to run `bup server` yourself.
25 : In this mode, the server checks each incoming object
26 against the idx files in its repository. If any object
27 already exists, it tells the client about the idx file
28 it was found in, allowing the client to download that
29 idx and avoid sending duplicate data. This is
30 `bup-server`'s default mode.
33 : In this mode, the server will not check its local index
34 before writing an object. To avoid writing duplicate
35 objects, the server will tell the client to download all
36 of its `.idx` files at the start of the session. This
37 mode is useful on low powered server hardware (ie
42 $BUP_DIR/bup-dumb-server
43 : Activate dumb server mode, as discussed above. This file is not created by
44 default in new repositories.
