They already implemented bup save but there is no bup restore yet :). I know that it's possible to restore backup with git checkout but it's funny anyway.


Wow, just wow. Looking at the docs, it seems the two major limitations IMHO at this point are the inability to backup file metadata, and the inability to remove old backups (that's kind of a biggy). Once they get those two things worked out this is gonna be incredible!


Awesome! I was just contemplating an idea similar to this yesterday.


I can't resist speculating about what you get if it fails...
