Varun,
You could add a pre-dle-estimate/pre-dle-backup script that put the list
of files in a file and configure an 'exclude list' for amgtar to use
that file.
If you backup only files (no directory) then amanda will never notice
when files are removed, so a restore will also restore removed files.

Hi experts,
I came to know that amanda client/agent crawls the file system under
the given path to get the list of files that have changed since the
previous backup. But in my use case because of the file system size
(in several TBs using any of the clustered file system) I can't afford
crawl every time. But there is a utility I use, which gives me list of
files changed for any given two points in time. My main question here
is that,
Is there any method I could use to provide the list of files changed
to the amanda client so that I can avoid amanda from crawling? If its
there can I have some pointers to go through it?
Thanks

PS: I agree, for full fledged backup crawling suggested, but with the
above method I can at least avoid crawling for
differential/incremental backups.
