Bug#564600: ITP: bup -- Backup program using rolling checksums



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name             : bup
* Version                        : 0.03
* Upstream Author          : Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@gmail.com>
* License                       : GPL-3+
* Programming Language: Python

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.
