NAME¶
bup-join - concatenate files from a bup repository
SYNOPSIS¶
bup join [-r
host:
path][refs or hashes...]
DESCRIPTION¶
bup join is roughly the opposite operation to
bup-split(1). You can use
it to retrieve the contents of a file from a local or remote bup repository.
The supplied list of refs or hashes can be in any format accepted by
git(1),
including branch names, commit ids, tree ids, or blob ids.
If no refs or hashes are given on the command line, bup join reads them
from stdin instead.
OPTIONS¶
- -r, --remote=host:path
- Retrieves objects from the given remote repository instead of the local
one. path may be blank, in which case the default remote repository
is used. The connection to the remote server is made with SSH. If you'd
like to specify which port, user or private key to use for the SSH
connection, we recommend you use the ~/.ssh/config file.
EXAMPLE¶
-
# split and then rejoin a file using its tree id
TREE=$(tar -cvf - /etc | bup split -t)
bup join $TREE | tar -tf -
# make two backups, then get the second-most-recent.
# mybackup~1 is git(1) notation for the second most
# recent commit on the branch named mybackup.
tar -cvf - /etc | bup split -n mybackup
tar -cvf - /etc | bup split -n mybackup
bup join mybackup~1 | tar -tf -
