Amanda really doesn't work that way. It is intended to back up whole
filesystems rather than selected files througout the filesystem. It is
possible to exclude files but I think you'd have a tough time writing
exclusion rules that do what you want (exlude all but certain filenames).
Instead, you might consider writing a short script that went out and found
the files you want and copied them to one (perhaps very small) filesystem.
You could then start your script sometime before the Amanda run is scheduled
and point Amanda at your special filesystem.
Another option is to use a "GNUTAR wrapper" script that pretends to be GNU
tar to Amanda but really does something of your own devising. Perhaps it
could run GNU tar with a list of filenames generated by "find". John Jackson
has an example GNUTAR wrapper script here:
ftp://gandalf.cc.purdue.edu/pub/amanda/gtar-wrapper.README
ftp://gandalf.cc.purdue.edu/pub/amanda/gtar-wrapper.ksh
I hope this helps,
