"say, for every week"

I would prefer that you "say" daily FULL backup and Log backup every 10 minutes

"I tried using "maintenance plans" option to do this...but didn't succeeded"

I reckon this is your best place to start. What error/problem did you have?

1. create a backup script, put it inside a stored procedure
2. run the stored procedure in a job and schedule the job
