Thank you both Ben und Nigel for the answers.

By the way I run webalizer only once a day ;-)

Without excluding the files and every single other directory in 
/var/www/dir1 I only see a way with negative lookaheads, but they don't 
work.

       var-www
       {
               Path = /var/www
               ExcludeDirsRegex = /var/www/dir1(?!/html/webalizer)
               ExcludeDir = /var/www/dir2/files
               ExcludeDir = /var/www/dir3/files
       }

Excluding all directories in /var/www/dir1 and /var/www/dir1/html other than 
html/webalizer seems more unreliable to me than adding a new backup set only 
for the webalizer files, but my regex skills are ahhh...  limited ;-)
