No, the reserve parameter has no effect on whether level 0 backups
or incremental backups will be done.

Instead, it says, if a backup is level 0, can it be buffered on
the holding disk.  If the reserve parameter is set to 100, then
100% of the holding disk space can be used only for incrementals.
All level 0's will go straight to tape.  If the reserve is set to
25%, then that portion can only be used to buffer incrementals
while the other 75% of the holding disk can be used for either
level 0's or incrementals as needed.
