NAME
       bup-server - the server side of the bup client-server relationship

SYNOPSIS
       bup server

DESCRIPTION
       bup server is the server side of a remote bup session.  If you use
       bup-split(1) or bup-save(1) with the -r option, they will ssh to the
       remote server and run bup server to receive the transmitted objects.

       There is normally no reason to run bup server yourself.

       The server's resource usage can be limited by setting
       bup.server.deduplicate-writes to false.  See the description in
       bup-config(5) for additional information.

FILES
       $BUP_DIR/bup-dumb-server
              When this file exists, bup will act as if
              bup.server.deduplicate-writes is set to false in the
              configuration, unless the configuration already specifies a
              value.
