Currently in Ploi API Database or File Backups. If we enter Remote Path it doesn't work with it. This feature needs to be fixed.

**Yes, please!** The API currently does not reflect the Ploi.io UI settings for file backups.

We are missing:
* Exclude folders/files
* Remote path
* Delete local file when backup fails

Note: The file backup response also includes `table_exclusions`, which I believe is a remnant of the database backup API?
