Add configuration options for backup

**Problem**
When working with api, the error messages could be more descriptive.

**Suggestion**
Improve error handling and add detailed error messages.

**Context**
This would help with debugging and maintenance.

Start by locating the API error-handling and backup-configuration entry points. Clarify which backup options and API failure cases are in scope before making changes. Done means the requested configuration options exist and relevant errors provide more descriptive debugging information.
