These don't work together.  It seems that on my NeXT, if I use the backup
scripts from the 1.11.1 distribution, everything that has been accessed since
the time of the level-0 dump will also be included on the level-1 dump.  Since
this includes all files on the level-0 dump, the level-1 dump won't really be
incremental.

Also your manual writer might want to include yet another hint for the NeXT
floppy drive: use --info-script='/usr/etc/disk -e /dev/rfd0a', and add the
same command at the bottom of the backup-dirs loop and the bottom of the
backup-files conditional.  (Blocking of 4 works.  Blocking of 48, which is
twice as fast, doesn't, even though 48 divides 1344, which is the floppy's
1440 blocks minus its 96-block front porch.  I guess I don't understand multi-
volume dumps.)
