git-annex
git-annex manages distributed copies of files using git (particularly large files, e.g. audio, video, images). Among other things, it supports partial checkouts and automatic checks to make sure that deleting a local copy of a file won't break rules you've established, like "there must always be at least 3 copies of any given photo, across all of my known checkouts". git-annex has configurable storage backends, and bup is one of the options.
git-annex assistant
The git-annex assistant turns git-annex into an easy to use folder synchroniser that works across Linux and OSX computers, Android devices, removable drives, NAS appliances, and cloud services.
