The man page *is* rather clear:
-0-9 Dump levels. A level 0, full backup, guarantees the entire file
system is copied (but see also the -h option below). A level
number above 0, incremental backup, tells dump to copy all files
new or modified since the last dump of any lower level. The de-
fault level is 0.
(Forget the Tower of Hanoi thing.)
