RDUP-UP(1)

NAME

rdup-up - update a directory tree with a rdup archive

SYNOPSIS

rdup-up [OPTION]...  DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION

With rdup-up you can update an (possibly) existing directory structure with a rdup archive.

rdup-up reads rdup -c input.

OPTIONS

-n Do a dry-run and do not create anything on disk.

-t PATH
Create PATH (ala mkdir -p) if it does not exist.
-s N Strip N path components from a pathname. If the resulting path
name is empty after this operation it is skipped. Be careful however with the following structure:

/foo
/foo/bar
/foo/bar/bla.txt
/foo/blork/bla.txt
With rdup-up -s2 this will leave:

<empty>
<empty>
/bla.txt
/bla.txt
And the last 'bla.txt' will overwrite the previous one.
-r PATH
This option is related to the -s option, but works different. The string PATH is removed from (the beginning of) each pathname. With -r /home/backup the pathname /home/backup/bin/mycmd becomes /bin/mycmd. The same could be done with -s 2, but then you need to count the slashes.
-v Be more verbose and echo the processed files to standard output.
-vv Be even more verbose and echo processed file and the uid and gid
information to standard output.
-h A short help message.
-V Show the version.

EXIT CODE

rdup-up return a zero exit code on success, otherwise 1 is returned.
