A level 1 contains all the changes on the date of the level 1 compared to the level 0. So if a file changed on 06-11, you have copies of it in the level 1s on 06-12, 06-13, and 06-14. If the file was deleted on 06-11, it won't be restored. If a file changed multiple times you will have to set the desired recovery date to get the version you want. jl -- Jon H.
