I've been meaning to ask a question about that paragraph, but hadn't gotten 
around to it. I don't think that subsequent Level 1 backups will function like 
incremental backups. A Level 1 on Day 2 goes back to the Day 1 Full, but a 
Level 1 on Day 3 will also go back to the Day1 Full (including what had already 
been backed up on Day 2).

Is this correct?

Thanks,
Randy
