Don't think so. According to the ChangeLog in the Amanda source:

     1998-06-28  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva AT dcc.unicamp DOT br>
                                                                                
                                     
        * server-src/reporter.c (output_tapeinfo):
        degraded mode no longer
        implies incremental dumps only.
