No, the reserve parameter has no effect on whether level 0 backups or incremental backups will be done. Instead, it says, if a backup is level 0, can it be buffered on the holding disk. If the reserve parameter is set to 100, then 100% of the holding disk space can be used only for incrementals. All level 0's will go straight to tape. If the reserve is set to 25%, then that portion can only be used to buffer incrementals while the other 75% of the holding disk can be used for either level 0's or incrementals as needed. jl -- Jon H.
