    Just an update to an old thread. Found a satisfactory answer to my initial question -

    "1) In what scenario would a DBA initiate a "Full" backup versus doing an "full incremental level 0" backup? I don't see why a DBA would ever kick off the former. Might as well do a "level 0" instead everytime, right?"

    Block media recovery (in 9i) is not possible via an Incremental backup (whatever level). You must have a Full RMAN backup.

    Now that's a good enough reason for me to incorporate one Full backup on my systems every month.
