The functionality inside LuCI->System->Backup/Flash is not enough ?
You can configure what ever file or directory to be saved !

If you want to initiate from remote you need to write your own WEB application.
LuCI is the WEB interface based on lua language using a HTTP server to display to browser,
not a server/service like sshd or samba or ftp or WEB Server. 
You need to write a WEB application (possibly using lua language and parts of LuCI's libraries and objects).
