+      Whether (and how) file content should be backed up before being replaced.
+      This attribute works best as a resource default in the site manifest
+      (`File { backup => main }`), so it can affect all file resources.
+
+      * If set to `false`, file content won't be backed up.
+      * If set to a string beginning with `.` (e.g., `.puppet-bak`), Puppet will
+        use copy the file in the same directory with that value as the extension
+        of the backup. (A value of `true` is a synonym for `.puppet-bak`.)
+      * If set to any other string, Puppet will try to back up to a filebucket
+        with that title. See the `filebucket` resource type for more details.
+        (This is the preferred method for backup, since it can be centralized
+        and queried.)
+
+      Default value: `puppet`, which backs up to a filebucket of the same name.
+      (Puppet automatically creates a **local** filebucket named `puppet` if one
+      doesn't already exist.)
+
+      Backing up to a local filebucket isn't particularly useful. If you want
+      to make organized use of backups, you will generally want to use the
+      puppet master server's filebucket service. This requires declaring a
+      filebucket resource and a resource default for the `backup` attribute
+      in site.pp:
+
+          # /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
+          filebucket { 'main':
+            path   => false,                # This is required for remote filebuckets.
+            server => 'puppet.example.com', # Optional; defaults to the configured puppet master.
+          }
+
+          File { backup => main, }
+
+      If you are using multiple puppet master servers, you will want to
+      centralize the contents of the filebucket. Either configure your load
+      balancer to direct all filebucket traffic to a single master, or use
+      something like an out-of-band rsync task to synchronize the content on all
+      masters.
