How to perform a new backup every time

I use the statement below to backup my database

        backup database Health to disk='c:\Health.bak'

The size backup file Health.bak will increment every time when I perform the
statement even I did not modify the database.
For example, the first time after  I execute the backup statement,
Health.back is 5M, the second time is 10M, the 3rd is 15M....
If the size is to large, I must delete Health.bak.

How can I  perform a new backup every time, so that I did not need to delete
the file before backup?

Read about the INIT option for the BACKUP command.
