   "copies": {
     "daily": 2,
     "weekly": 1,
     "monthly": 1,
     "annually": 1
   },
   "filter": [
      "node_modules/**",
      "**/*.log",
      "data/folder/*",
      "package.lock",
     "**/*_file-ending.*"
   ],
  "compression_level": "default"
}

🔧 type option:

Type of backup, local or cloud

🔧 copies option:

How many copies need to be in according folders, file tree will look like this:
