The 'EACCES Permission Denied' error indicates that the user account attempting to delete a file (in this case, `/data/config/nodes.json.backup`) does not have the necessary permissions to do so. This could be due to incorrect file ownership, insufficient user privileges, or restrictive file system permissions.
