bup\-server \- the server side of the bup client\-server relationship
.SH SYNOPSIS
bup server
.SH DESCRIPTION
\f[CR]bup server\f[R] is the server side of a remote bup session.
If you use \f[CR]bup\-split\f[R](1) or \f[CR]bup\-save\f[R](1) with the
\f[CR]\-r\f[R] option, they will ssh to the remote server and run
\f[CR]bup server\f[R] to receive the transmitted objects.
.PP
There is normally no reason to run \f[CR]bup server\f[R] yourself.
.PP
The server\(cqs resource usage can be limited by setting
\f[CR]bup.server.deduplicate\-writes\f[R] to \f[CR]false\f[R].
See the description in \f[CR]bup\-config(5)\f[R] for additional
information.

the configuration, unless the configuration already specifies a value.
