## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

Burp is a client-server network backup and restore program with Unix, macOS, and Windows client support. It is built around scheduled backups, SSL-protected client/server communication, restore and verify workflows, compression, librsync-style delta transfer, and long-running operational maintenance.

### Projektgeschichte

The upstream changelog shows Burp's early 1.0 series adding backup and restore counters, safer restores, Windows fixes, SSL support, checksummed manifests, verification, client-side file encryption, scheduling, email notifications, live status monitoring, and the `burp_ca` certificate helper during 2011. That history makes Burp visibly older than many single-binary backup tools and rooted in the traditional network backup-server model.

Later Burp development continued through 2.x and 3.x branches with Windows tooling, protocol work, OpenSSL updates, systemd integration, sparse-index and restore fixes, access controls, and configuration hardening. The official quick-start still documents building a server from source, installing config files, running the daemon, and deploying Unix, Windows, and Homebrew-based macOS clients.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

Burp's adoption is strongest in distribution and operations contexts: the input metadata records packages in apk, Homebrew, Debian, MacPorts, Nix, and Ubuntu. Its continued package presence reflects a practical niche for administrators who want a self-hosted network backup server with mixed-platform clients rather than a purely local archive tool.

### Wie es verwendet wird

A Burp deployment usually has a central server using `/etc/burp/burp-server.conf` and per-client configuration under `/etc/burp/clientconfdir`, while clients run `burp -a b` for backup or poll on a schedule to see whether the server has work for them. The Windows installer and macOS Homebrew instructions make it usable across heterogeneous fleets.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Burp is package-nerd-relevant because it preserves the classic Unix backup-daemon shape in an open-source package: config directories, certificate helpers, cron or scheduler-driven clients, restore commands, and distro service integration. It is a useful contrast with newer backup CLIs that prefer single-user repositories and SSH remotes.

### Zeitleiste

- 2011-03: Burp 1.1.x changelog entries added verification, SSL, client-side encryption, scheduling, and email notifications.
- 2011-06: Changelog entries added live status monitoring improvements and the burp_ca helper.
- 2021: Burp 2.5.x became a stable/latest branch with Windows config-permission hardening.
- 2022: Burp 3.1.x removed protocol 2 and added OpenSSL 3 support.
- 2026-05-30: Burp 3.3.0 released as a new latest version.

### Related projects
