Backup All Repos Automatically #40

Bit of a housekeeping issue. Use something like this.

Ideally, and if we wanted to be really meta about this we could have a Digital Ocean VPS running a script like the link I provided above. It could take the .zip files for all the repos and all the branches in the Storj Organization, and make it into one large daily .zip. This daily .zip could then be stored on the VPS, and then uploaded to the Storj network.

The VPS could keep a cache of the files on a public facing web server. It can also display the decryption keys and hashes of the files it uploaded. Our code is all open source, but there is the possibility that Github could have problems or go down. In this way we ensure that our development code is on Github, an external server, and distributed network. This should avoid most conceivable points of failure.

It should be a person's job to verify that the backups are working(lets say on the first of every month).
