It means that 'now' is not suitable/convenient. However, any other time is. A shorter way of expressing the same idea is 'not now'. If someone is trying to get your attention and you are very busy, you might say 'not now'. Meaning I am really busy right now, so wait until some other time.

Anytime but now = Anytime other than now = Anytime except now.
Your friend: Can you help me?
You: Sure!
Your friend: When? Can you help me right now?
You: Anytime but now. How about in an hour? Is that okay?
Your friend: It sure is! Thanks!
