[excerpt from bup web site]

Bup is a Very efficient backup system based on the git packfile format,
|
|
providing fast incremental saves and global deduplication (among and within
|
|
files, including virtual machine images).
|
|
|
|
Bup has a few advantages over other backup software:
|
|
|
|
-It uses a rolling checksum algorithm (similar to rsync) to split large files
|
|
into chunks. The most useful result of this is you can backup huge virtual
|
|
machine (VM) disk images, databases, and XML files incrementally, even though
|
|
they're typically all in one huge file, and not use tons of disk space for
|
|
multiple versions.
|
|
|
|
-It uses the packfile format from git (the open source version control system),
|
|
so you can access the stored data even if you don't like bup's user interface.
