+#
+# The entries of $Conf{IncrLevels} apply in order to each
+# incremental after each full backup. It wraps around until

+# $Conf{IncrLevels} = [1, 2, 3];
+# $Conf{IncrLevels} = [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3];

+# the way back to the full. The 2nd and 3rd (and 5th and

+# incremental.
+#
+# Specifying a sequence of multi-level incrementals will
+# usually mean more than $Conf{IncrKeepCnt} incrementals will
+# need to be kept, since lower level incrementals are needed
+# to merge a complete view of a backup. For example, with
+#
+# $Conf{FullPeriod} = 7;
+# $Conf{IncrPeriod} = 1;
+# $Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 6;
+# $Conf{IncrLevels} = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

+# there will be up to 11 incrementals in this case:

+# backup #0 (full, level 0, oldest)
+# backup #1 (incr, level 1)
+# backup #2 (incr, level 2)
+# backup #3 (incr, level 3)
+# backup #4 (incr, level 4)
+# backup #5 (incr, level 5)
+# backup #6 (incr, level 6)

+# backup #9 (incr, level 2)
+# backup #10 (incr, level 3)
+# backup #11 (incr, level 4)
+# backup #12 (incr, level 5, newest)
+#
+# Backup #1 (the oldest level 1 incremental) can't be deleted
+# since backups 2..6 depend on it. Those 6 incrementals can't
+# all be deleted since that would only leave 5 (#8..12).
+# When the next incremental happens (level 6), the complete
+# set of 6 older incrementals (#1..6) will be deleted, since
+# that maintains the required number ($Conf{IncrKeepCnt})
+# of incrementals. This situation is reduced if you set
+# shorter chains of multi-level incrementals, eg:
+#
+# $Conf{IncrLevels} = [1, 2, 3];
+#
+# would only have up to 2 extra incremenals before all 3
+# are deleted.
+#
+# BackupPC as usual merges the full and the sequence
+# of incrementals together so each incremental can be
+# browsed and restored as though it is a complete backup.
+# If you specify a long chain of incrementals then more
+# backups need to be merged when browsing, restoring,
+# or getting the starting point for rsync backups.
+# In the example above (levels 1..6), browing backup
+# #6 requires 7 different backups (#0..6) to be merged.
+#
+# Because of this merging and the additional incrementals
+# that need to be kept, it is recommended that some
+# level 1 incrementals be included in $Conf{IncrLevels}.
+#
+# Prior to version 3.0 incrementals were always level 1,
+# meaning each incremental backed up all the files that
