bup is a program that backs things up. 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. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
