One way to do that is to use the exclude list. Click on "Edit Excludes" 
to modify the list.

See the 'rsync' man page, especially the section 'EXCLUDE PATTERNS'. If 
there are a lot of directories to exlude, you may be able to exclude 
them all with a '-' and include the one you want with a '+'.

Something like this might work, though I haven't tried it:

    + /share-i-want-to-backup
     - *
