>From the NW 7.1 documentation CD (May 2004), the Unix administrator
guide, in the NDMP chapter, under "limitations ...(p.532):
* The NetWorker software does not support incremental backup settings
for NDMP backups. If you select the incremental setting, the NetWorker
server performs a full backup. However, you can schedule level backups
to function like incremental backups. For example, complete a full
backup on day 1 and level 1 backups on days 2 through 7.
