Adding an additional Subscription to Merge Replication

I have two servers in a merge replication setup (linked every night using an ISDN line). I wish to add a new subscriber to this but I am not sure if I need to do a new snapshot.
I was thinking of using the latest backup from the publisher and recover this on the new subscriber - if I do this will i need
to run the snapshot again ? or will they all simply carry on with the merge...
Thanks

you have to create a no-sync subcription which will run the snapshot only
for necessary merge replication metadata.

Push Subscription Wizard in the usual way?
