It appears that at least on my NeXT, if I try to combine these (as the
provided backup scripts do), then the level-1 dump includes everything
accessed since the level-0 dump.  This is not "incremental" because
everything included in the level-0 dump has to be accessed in order
to include it.

 -- Derek

PS: Here's another hint for NeXT floppies: use 
--info-script='/usr/etc/disk -e /dev/rfd0a'.  And if trying to use the
provided backup scripts, add the same command (which ejects the floppy)
at the bottom of the backup-dirs loop, and the bottom of the backup-files
conditional.
