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.
32 : In this mode, the server will not check its local index
33 before writing an object. To avoid writing duplicate
34 objects, the server will tell the client to download all
35 of its .idx files at the start of the session. This
36 mode is useful on low powered server hardware (ie
41 $BUP_DIR/bup-dumb-server
42 : Activate dumb server mode, as discussed above.
