bupstash is a tool for storing (and retrieving) files and data in an encrypted bupstash-repostory(7).

Some notable features of bupstash include:

○
Automatic deduplication of stored data.
○
Client side encryption of data.
○
Incremental file uploads.
○
A tag based query language.
○
Optional role based encryption and decryption key separation.
○
Remote repositories over ssh ssh.
○
Optional, per ssh key access repository controls.
○
A multi layered approach to security.

The bupstash tool itself is divided into subcommands that each have their own documentation.
