How does one determine which dump levels to use for incremental backups? I have been running a zero level dump nightly Monday through Friday on different tapes. I would like to change the setup so that the backup only backs up level zero every friday, and does incremental backups of only the changed/altered files in the interim. What I'm having difficulty understanding, is which level number I should be using. for example: 0 first Friday, then 1 following Monday, then 1 every night until Thursday, and a new zero level on Friday. Would this schedule be feasible? Will it function properly as I am expecting?
