I'm looking at the vendor backup. Then, I saw this
DUMP DATABASE ABC TO ABC_Data_Dump WITH NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10, INIT , NOSKIP
every 3 days at 3:00 AM
DUMP DATABASE ABC TO ABC_Data_Dump WITH NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10, NOINIT, NOSKIP
every 3 days at 3:00 AM
The difference is INIT & NOINIT and doing in the same time.
INIT - overwrite a previous dump file.
NOINIT - add to existing dump file.
Is there a purpose doing this? or reason behind this? any advantages or it is advisable?

It means only 3 days backups are kept in the backup device and will be recycled after that to keep the backup device in reasonable size.

why there is separate job for each INIT & NOINIT? why not just one INIT or NOINIT, know what I mean?
