If you want differential or cumulative incrementals (i.e. every

incremental backup contains changed data sine the last full), use level 9. This means on a full system recovery, you only need the full tape and

the latest level 9 tape. You also have to realize that your L9 backups
will get larger every day, depending on the amount of change.

One reason I like L9 is because I can specify a 3 day rotation on
offsite clones (cloning is done daily). If you did an incremental
something other than 9, the offsite rotation would be much more
difficult to manage.

Can you do that inside networker, or are you managing by hand?
