About Backup Dump Levels

Level 0 or Full Backup: A Full Backup provides a backup of all the data in the selected path.
Level 1 through 9 or Incremental Backup: The Incremental Backups base themselves on the most recent lower‑level Incremental Backup, and include any data that has changed or is new since the last Full or Incremental Backup.
