Restoring data from a backup is NOT meant to 'rebuild' the disk. It will
only restore data from the media back to the location from whence it
came.  It will also 'create' any directories that don't exist.  But it
will not, remove any.  If you don't want the directories, I would
recommend that you perform a formal uninstall prior the the restore.
That way the original registry is intact and will function properly
during the install.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] W2K full restore issue



We have found that when a W2K system is restored via NetBackup from the
current backup method MS-Windows-NT,  it retains any directories that
were created after the backup was taken. For instance, if an application
was installed after the backup (i.e. Documentum or Acrobat), even though
the registry is written over and the application is effectively
"uninstalled", the associated installation directories on the disk are
left intact and I'm not sure why. I thought the restore would wipe the
drive(s) and restore a fresh image. Any ideas that don't include a Bare
Metal licensing...............................
