Hi Sean

Does that mean I can do a level 0 restore overnight, and then a level 1
restore tomorrow night?

In other words, is doing this:

nbackup -R mydb.fdb level_0.nbk level_1.nbk

the same as doing this:

nbackup -R mydb.fdb level_0.nbk
nbackup -R mydb.fdb level_1.nbk

Thanks for you assistance
Gary
