Don’t exclude some file in lib from rubocop

# This is the 1st commit message:

Add `copy` backup strategy to combat file changed errors

The backup Rake task used to stream data directly from the live
data directory into the backup. Under many circumstances this worked
OK. However, really active instances would experience a 'file changed
as we read it' error - especially with data like the registry. This
now copies the data first, then compresses it. It will take a bit
more disk space while the backup is in progress, but it's a
necessary thing.

# The commit message #2 will be skipped:

#	Add env var

Use `File::exist?` instead of `File::exists?`

Since version ruby-2.2.0, method `File::exists?` is deprecated.

Do no rely on basename of builds, uploads

Use tar for intermediate backup storage

2015-10-06T12:43:19+00:00

During the backup we create an intermediate copy of two directories:
builds and uploads. Instead of creating many small files with 'cp
-r', we now use tar (and fast gzip) to create single intermediate
files. This saves on disk IO and disk space while creating a backup.
