Changing Alias via WebAPI - stop config backup executing?

[ak888]

I have a 'ban'/block alias in OpnSense to block ip address. This alias is managed via Fail2Ban where I use a script to call the OpnSense WebAPI to add or delete from an Alias. Each time the configuration changes from this, I can see a config backup is created.

Is there a way to execute a change to the alias but not have OpnSense automatically create a configuration back xml file?
