Unfortunately, the worst case was already there, it did not happen just
now. AMANDA requires a healthy system to operate. Any hardware problems
which might lurk there unnoticed, will come on the surface because of
the load the backups put on any system. So you _had_ a problem already,
you just notice it now (say thank you to AMANDA :-) ).

Shut down, boot from floppy, run fsck on /dev/hda. Or, if /dev/hda can
be unmounted while your server is still running (which I doudt), unmount
it and run fsck on it.
Be prepared that the files on the mentioned sectors will have been lost
to Nirwana. And document exactly what you did and what broke - people
will say it is your fault, or AMANDA's, so be prepared.

These errors have to alarm you, not just concern you! They mean
"physical error in your hard drive sectors, cannot read!". Read - and
print! you will not have it when you boot from floppy - the manual on
fsck and make sure you understand the options. Then go on as above - and
good luck!
