In this case your Level 1 backups always go back to last Level that is less
than the current Level, so all of your Level 1 backups will go back to the
Level 0. To implement the "Incremental actions", you'd need to do a Level 1,
followed by a Level 2, Level 3, etc. I did this with our NDMP backups to make
it "Incremental Like", followed by a Level 1 on Friday which would go back and
get everything since the Level 0 from the weekend.
NDMP backups only do Full and Level. Trying an incremental forces a Full.
