I need a solution for the following problem:

I use a CMS and want the backend to only be available at example.com/backend and not at www.example.com/backend. The rest of the site should be available at example.com.
How do I change my .htaccess file to achieve this? I already have a rewrite rule from (non-www) to
Here's what I currently have in my .htaccess file:


##
# Uncomment the following lines to add "www." to the domain:
#
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) www.example.com/ [R=301,L]
#
# Uncomment the following lines to remove "www." from the domain:
#
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
# RewriteRule (.*) example.com/ [R=301,L]
#
# Make sure to replace "example.com" with your domain name.
##


So, the first bit is the redirect from non-www to It works on the domain part of the URL. As explained, I need a rewrite rule from the backend login at www.example.com/backend to example.com/backend.
