You should be able to make a special client resource with the command line
argument for that level if there are levels that the GUI doesn't support -
that would also require a separate schedule so you would need overlapping
schedules that skip each other's backup dates (because part of your schedule
would not be using the built-in level mechanism).

To do special exceptions you have to set the schedule to not display as a
calendar and then you type it in in english.

Look at the example schedules, it is pretty straight forward, what you want
is pretty easy to achieve.

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.
