[Networker] Question on level 8 backup?

I ran a level 8 for a group (several clients), and it backed up a bunchof data. All the previous backups sincethe previous full had been incrementals. Then I ran another level 8 thenext day - no other backups between thetwo level 8s -and it backs up a bunch of data again. This seems odd. Ithought a level backupwill only capture all files that have changed since the last lowernumber backup or backup of that same level.So, the second level 8 should not have gone back to the previous fulllike the first one did. Instead, it shouldhave only grabbed any data that changed since the previous level 8,right? In essence, it should behave like

an incremental in this *particular* case, correct?

Today I ran an incremental estimate on the group (savegrp -n -l incrgroup_name) and it reports a small amount of data,

but when I ran a level 8 estimate it reports a large amount again.

Why would this happen?

We're running 7.2.2 on Solaris 2.9 with two RH Linux snodes, eachrunning 7.2.2. Clients are running 7.2.2 on Linux also.
