I am creating a large rsync, and in this one case, I don't want puppet doing file backup.

 rsync::get { '/opt/large_rsync':
        source => "/nfs/opt/mylargefileset",
        before => File['/opt/resource'],
        backup => false,
      }

doesn't work... Is there a way short of disabling file backups for all files? The docs for rsync don't really discuss it triggering puppet's filebuckets, and the file resource discussion of backup seems to imply you can use it for individual files or for all, but not really how it plays with the rsync module.
