Using a dump device in sql 6.5 server, the dump is adding to the existing file, how can I stop this from happening so as it overwrites the existing file..??? Existing file is copied to a tape backup nightly after dump is completed...

"DUMP DATABASE TO WITH INIT"

The 'init' clause will initialize the device and overwrite the previous backups.
