Bup is a Backup system written in Python. It uses several formats from Git but is capable of handling very large files like operating system images.[2] It has block-based deduplication[3] and optional par2-based error correction.[4]
History
Bup development began in 2010[5] and was accepted to Debian the same year.
Design
Bup uses the git packfile format writing packfiles directly, avoiding garbage collection.[2]
