Hi,
Neither the first, nor the second. It's expected behavior.
amstatus is designed to show the status of a running amdump or amflush.
if none of these two aplications are running it does not find the statusfile
it searches for and gives this message.
Perhaps one could catch this error and give a more descriptive errormessage,
but at the moment noonehas done this before.......

Ran a backup w/o tape today and it properly goes into

However, running amstatus before even having attempted to flush
the files to tape complains that it is missing a file amdump inthe
logdir? I have not looked further into this, but would just like
to know whether this is a known problem or if something else in my
setup might be wrong that amstatus misbehaves.

thanks
