Thank you so much! That works great.  I do not need a backup at all.

  Hello everyone

  I looked online, but didn't see any solution to the problem of 
/var/lib/puppet/clientbucket filling up.

  After a while that directory is getting very big, 3-4gigs.   I have to 
shutdown puppet and remove everything.

  Is there a way to either limit the size of this directory, or better yet make 
sure that it isn't filling constantly?


Do you actually have a need to use the filebucked on the client? You can 
disabling backups for any individual file resource with:


file { "/foo/bar":
  backup => false,
}


and many people in fact set this with a global resource default, and explicitly 
backup files they care about by setting backup to true for those individual 
resources, like:


File { backup => false, }


file { "/etc/important-file":
  backup => true,
}

You could also choose to use the tidy resource type to manage the bucket itself.

  I am running puppet version 0.25.4

  Thank you!
