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.[3] It has block-based deduplication[4] and optional par2-based error correction.[5]
History
Bup development began in 2010[6] and was accepted to Debian the same year.
Design
Bup uses the git packfile format writing packfiles directly, avoiding garbage collection.[3]
