+ date="2014-08-05T21:35:34Z"
+ content="""
+Related to the question posed in http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/switching_backends/ can git annex be told to use the existing backend for a given file?
+
+The use case for this is that you have an existing repo that started out e.g. with SHA256, but new files are being added with SHA256E since that's the default now.
+
+But I was doing:
+
+    git annex edit .
+    rsync /some/old/copy/ .
+    git annex add .
+
+And was expecting it to show no changes for existing files, but it did, it would be nice if that was not the case.

+Hi,
+
+### Please describe the problem.
+I have a distant repository in backup mode acting as origin and 2 computers at home containing that repository in manual mode. Everything is in indirect mode and watched by git annex assistant.
+If I get a file on one local computer from origin, everything act as expected, I have a copy on that file on origin and on the local computer.
+But, if I then want to copy the file over to the other local computer by issuing a git annex get on the second computer with a --from option specifying the first local computer, the file is transferred but when the transfer is completed the file is dropped on the first local computer.
+
+If I try and retrieve the file from origin, I don't have that problem and the file is kept on every repository I issued the git annex get command.
+
+A bigger problem is that if, still on the second local computer, I start transferring a file from the first local computer and I interrupt the rsync process, the file is still dropped by the first local computer although it is not yet on the second.
+It is still on the origin so no data is lost but I don't think this behavior is really intended.
+
+The version of git-annex I use is as follows:
+
+On the two local computers (from the ArchLinux aur):
+git-annex version: 5.20140716-g8c14ba8
+build flags: Assistant Webapp Webapp-secure Pairing Testsuite S3 WebDAV Inotify DBus DesktopNotify XMPP DNS Feeds Quvi TDFA CryptoHash

+It should be the same version everywhere.

+Thanks for the info, Joey! As long as the git tracks the history anyway, this should not increase space consumption that much.
+
+Perhaps it would be useful to have something like «git annex gc» that can clean up these things manually in some situations, e. g. to compact everything before doing a «git annex forget».

+I'd like to share my setup for keeping [bup](https://github.com/bup/bup/) repositories in git-annex.¹
+I'm not sure if this is a *good* tip, so comments are welcome.
+
+The purpose of this setup is to (kind of) bring encryption to bup,
+and make it easy to keep bup backups in untrusted storage by making use of the encryption modes and backends provided by git-annex.
+This approach can be used to make encrypted *backups of bup repositories*;
+it can not replace encrypted filesystems such as EncFS or S3QL
+which wouldn't necessarily require local bup repositories but also can't be combined with storage like Amazon Glacier.
+
+To add a bup repository to git-annex, initialize a regular indirect git-annex repository,
+and make the bup repository a subdirectory of it.²
+Then `git annex add $BUP_REPO/objects/packs`, i.e. the location of the large data files (.pack & .par2).
+The rest of the bup repository should be tracked by Git (`git add $BUP_REPO`).³
+This way the repository stays fully functional.
+
+After a bup-save the following steps will synchronize all remotes:⁴
+
+    git annex add $BUP_REPO/objects/pack
+    git add $BUP_REPO
+    git commit -m "Backup on $(date)"
+	git annex sync --content
+
+In my current setup, the git-annex repositories are located on a local file server.
+Various clients use bup to create backups on the server.
+This server also makes backups of other servers.
+Afterwards, it uploads the annexed data to Glacier
+(via an [encrypted S3 special remote](/special_remotes/S3/)),
+and pushes the small Git repositories to an S3QL filesystem and another off-site server.
+Using these repositories (and my GPG key) the bup repositories could be recovered.
+
+It may be important to note that in order to be able to *access* a bup repository,
+*all* files have to be available locally.
+Bup will not function if any pack files are missing (maybe this can be improved?).
+
+-----
+
+¹) Not to be confused with git-annex's [bup special remote](/special_remotes/bup/).
+
+²) You can't initialize git-annex repositories directly inside bup repositories
+because git-annex will (rightfully) identify them as bare git repositories and set itself up accordingly.
+
+³) I've come up with these .gitignore rules to exclude potentially large files not needed for recovery:
+
+    /bup_repo/bupindex*
+    /bup_repo/objects/pack/bup.bloom
+    /bup_repo/objects/pack/midx*midx
+    /bup_repo/objects/tmp*.pack
+    /bup_repo/index-cache/
+
+⁴) `git annex sync` might not be the safest command to use because it would merge changes from the remotes.
+However, assuming normal bup usage, external changes to the bup repository are not to be expected.
