No, they're not synonymous.  However, indexes do not support 'incr'
backups.  So if you do an 'incr' on a client, the indexes are promoted
up to level 9.

Any numeric backup will save all data changed since the last backup with
a lower number.

'incr' backups save all data changed since the last backup (even if it
was an incr).  So multiple incrs do not save the same data multiple
times.  Multiple level 9 backups might.

For this reason, don't overly restrict your pools.  If you make a pool
and set it to hold only incr data, then your indexes will never go on
there, even if you want them to.
