It's the default:

BACKUP

  /INITIALIZE

        /INITIALIZE
        /NOINITIALIZE

     Command Qualifier

     Initializes an output disk or tape volume, making its entire
     previous contents unavailable. (/REWIND performs the same
     function for output tapes.) This qualifier is valid only when
     used with the /IMAGE qualifier during restore or copy operations
     or when saving files to a sequential-disk save set. The default
     is /INITIALIZE for Files-11 volumes and /NOINITIALIZE for
     sequential-disk volumes.

By the way, I like it when HELP shows the default right away.  One of 
the best HELP libraries is that for Fortran.  When HELP is revised, that 
should be the role model.
