This is the output of ls -l /dev/hda2:

I dont know if the group backup has permissions to access /dev/hda2, I am not the system administrator, how can I know it?

Amanda must belong to the group "disk".
Log in as amanda on that system and type the command "groups", or "id".

If "disk" is in that list, then you maybe have to add "groups = yes"
to the xinetd.conf file too, otherwise xinetd will not use additional
groups when executing amandad.
