Need to double my disk space to restore from backup: Why?
Once the restore is completed, can a go back and reduce my storage to what it was before?
Thanks!

Looks like a restore doesn't actually overwrite an existing disk image, but creates a new image altogether which co-exists next to the image that you actually want to replace. You can delete the old image and de-allocate the extra space again.
If this is not the case, please advise. Thanks. --- L
