Yes -- so either 1) an explicit "storage" line in the amanda.conf file
listing just the main storage, or 2) no "storage" line in the file,
which would result in the main storage being the auto-created one named
the same as the config name, right?

(In my quick testing [with both storages listed on the "storage" line],
amdump *did* drop to degraded mode for the whole run when it couldn't
find a volume in the "offsite" storage [though there was one for the
main storage]; I didn't investigate carefully to see if there was a
setting that could override that behavior.
On the other hand, in the "without holding disk" scenario, a missing
"offsite" volume does not trigger degraded mode.)
