I run weekly fulls, and set $Conf{IncrLevels} = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]; so
that each incremental references the prior incremental, rather than the

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity planning
reports.http://sdm.link/zohodev2dev
