The point of the default backup level is for when you need to
run a job by hand from the console.
If you don't run anything other than Fulls (for example), you
can just define the backup level in one place. If you run
multiple levels, you set those in the schedule, but you set
the default level in the Job, so that on the occasion you need
to run a job manually, it will select a certain level of job.
In your case, it sounds like you are most interested in
running incremental jobs by hand, so setting the default
level to "Incremental" makes the most sense. In my case,
I'm generally not as worried about Incremental jobs as I am
about the failure of a Full, so my default level is "Full".
