Protected RouterBOOT is the highest reset protection level possible. It is not possible to disabling the reset button completely.

this only affects devices with an onboard reset jumper hole. does not affect button.
protected RouterBOARD basically does what you need, see above post.

Is there a way to just disable the backup when doing reset by button ?

The reset can be made, we just don't want the previous configuration to be preserved in any place.
This will be safer for vpn passwords and other private data.

Reset by button do not do any backup. if any file is left on rb, there are previously present
Only neinstall clean all, any other "non-cli" methods for reset do not clean anything on internal routerboard folder.

If you not protect the rb with protected-routerboot,
anyone can access actual config using netinstall with "keep old config" set (all files inside are lost)
upgrading to, for example 6.47, to new password databas version and netinstall again for downgrading to, for example, 6.40 to non-existant-database.
this clean admin password and you can gain ful access and export any password as cleartext

also exist some tools to start routerboard on ethernet boot and it display all file contents on LAN, including system files, like is one shared folder.
