How does one determine which dump levels to use for incremental backups? I
have been running a zero level dump nightly Monday through Friday on
different tapes. I would like to change the setup so that the backup only
backs up level zero every friday, and does incremental backups of only the
changed/altered files in the interim. What I'm having difficulty
understanding, is which level number I should be using. for example: 0 first
Friday, then 1 following Monday, then 1 every night until Thursday, and a
new zero level on Friday. Would this schedule be feasible? Will it function
properly as I am expecting?
