/NOINIT for BACKUP is a little misleading.  Without it, BACKUP inits the
disk, like you'd expect.  However, if /NOINIT is specified, BACKUP reads
certain information from the destination, combines it with source 
information and then inits the disk with this combined info.  So /NOINIT
does init the disk.  Just something to keep in mind.

It depends on the parameters which is kept from the destination and which
comes from the source.  I'm sure the details are in TFM.
