edit /etc/e-smith/web/function/backup

or another less invasive option

mkdir /mnt/share
smbmount //pc/share /mnt/share
cd /mnt/share
tar -zxcf stuff.tar.gz /stuff

there is a list of files/directories that is backed up
if you can't find the list  and you don't understand what you are doing
i would only be causing mischief by being more specific
