You don't need to create the one-drive STU.

Right.  Restores don't use a storage unit the way that backups do.  You
just need to make sure that at least one drive is unused.  If you only
have one STU used by backups, then you did that when you decremented the
drive count.

(If you have multiple STUs on the robot with SSO, then this is harder).
