Have a look at Frontview backup.

You could need to configure say NFS for one of the shares then add a new backup job. The path for the NFS share would be "sharename/foldername" (no quotes).

In the FrontView Backup i can just set "Perform backup every 1 hour". But i want back up the share all 5 minutes

Every 5 minutes is very regular. If there's a lot of data it might not finish in time.

You'd need to setup your own backup job scripts via SSH with a check to see that the previous job isn't still running when you go to start the next one.

that's not the problem. The backup is max. 3MB.
how can i make my own backup job?
i tryed to change the "/etc/cron.d/frontview-backup" file. In the FrontView, i can see the changes, but the backup job dont run.

Create your own cron file in /etc/cron.d, refer to a cron script which uses the cp command to copy the files you want to backup.
