Yes, that's a start.

That's just how it works. Bacula doesn't scan the whole world looking for
something that matches the regexdir.
Instead, it searches down the tree starting from the 'File =' lines looking
for files to back up. To prevent something from being backed up, you must
exclude it by using an Exclude section or by using options with 'exclude =
yes'. See the *.gz example here:
http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION001480000000000000000
When you exclude a directory, it doesn't look any further. Therefore, to back
up selected subdirectories of /home/*, you need to make Bacula select all
directories leading up to those you want to back up, without selecting any of
ther contents. Something like this (not tested):
Include {
Options {
signature = SHA1
compression = GZIP
# include the dirs in /home
regexdir = "^/home/[^/]+$"
# and include the web dirs of them
wilddir = "/home/*/web"
# and the public_html dirs within the web dirs
wilddir = "/home/*/web/public_html"
# and the contents of the public_html
wild = "/home/*/web/public_html/*"
}
Options {
# exclude everything else
Exclude = yes
wild = "/home/*"
}
File = /home
}
