bup: Initialize a backup repository in the specified local directory.
$ bup -d ${path-to-repository} init
try on your machine
The command "bup -d ${path-to-repository} init" is used to initialize a Bup repository in a specific directory.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
"bup": This is the executable command for Bup, an open-source backup tool.
-
"-d ${path-to-repository}": The "-d" option specifies the destination directory for the Bup repository. "${path-to-repository}" should be replaced with the actual path to the directory where you want to create the repository.
-
"init": This is the command for initializing the Bup repository.
When you run this command, Bup will create the necessary file structure and metadata to establish the repository in the specified directory. This repository can then be used with Bup to perform backups, restores, and other operations.
