NAME

       bup-init - initialize a bup repository

SYNOPSIS

       [BUP_DIR=localpath] bup init [-r host:path]

DESCRIPTION

       bup init initializes your local bup repository.  By default, BUP_DIR is ~/.bup.

OPTIONS

       -r, --remote=host:path
              Initialize  not  only the local repository, but also the remote repository given by
              the host and path.  This is not necessary if you intend to back up to  the  default
              location on the server (ie.  a blank path).  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.
