That's not an option. Your best bet is to handle the backup yourself before invoking ansible.builtin.copy or ansible.builtin.template etc. and don't specify backup (or "backup: false").
Use ansible.builtin.stat to get the mtime. Then use ansible.builtin.copy to copy the .conf file where you want it. Specify "remote_src: true" and use the registered mtime to provide an extension to "dest:" that looks like what "backup: true" does. Or make it look different if you don't like it that way. You can wrap all that up into a task file that you can pass variables to so it's easy to use for multiple files.
