Question about dump levels

Hi All,
I've been using Amanda for quite some time (3-4 years) and have been quite
happy with it. Thanks to all the developers for a great backup system.
Now for my question. Does anybody know why level 0 and level 1 dumps of my
disks would be the same approximate size always?
I thought a level 1 dump supposed to be an incremental backup, while level 0
is a full backup. Here are some extracts for the Amanda reports of the dumps
of my /home disk. Looks to me like Amanda is backing up every file, no
matter what the dump level is.
In case it makes any difference, this occurred with both versions 2.4.3b2 and
2.4.4.
Thanks for any advise you can give me.
Randy
