That info can be found with a big search effort, but even then the
explanation is rather cryptic. However, I assumed this method for my
backups (and tested with restores):

Sunday	dump 0		Full
Monday dump 1		incremental
Tuesday dump 2	incremental
Wednesday dump 3	incremental
Thursday dump 4	incremental
Friday dump 5	 	incremental
Saturday dump 6	incremental

If the above is incorrect, I will appreciate being corrected....
