Description

Follows-up from https://github.com/jquery/infrastructure/issues/9. We have a backup role in the Puppet manifest (github::backup), and it was used for a while on the jq02 host, but that host has since been decom'ed.

This is a task to review the script, fix it if needed, and then re-enable it in one of the host roles. It's pretty minor and does not need a dedicated host. It runs once a night and needs a bit bit of space. The builder host seems like a good candidate as it's the only host with any real space needs.
