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]
Bup development began in 2010 [6] and was accepted to Debian the same year.
Bup uses the git packfile format writing packfiles directly, avoiding garbage collection. [3]
