See the backup parameter of the file resource[1]. You'll probably want to set `backup => false` globally and then enable where it makes sense. To be honest, I'm not sure why backups are enabled by default like that. Another issue is that puppet reads the entire file into memory and then tries to save it, as opposed to streaming the file[2]. This is a bug[3], which has not yet been fixed.
