The document "configuring ndmp backups with emc celerra" states that it (the 
nas) supports levels 0-9 and a special level 10 for incremental.

I think just constantly doing level 1's would end up as differentials, im 
looking for a months worth of incrementals :)

I was going to use the windows scheduler as i couldnt get networker to backup 
on, for example the first saturday of the month.




I'm guessing that networker doesn't support the level 10, but wondered if there 
was a workaround.
