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
              pathname 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.
