actually, I also did a full restore of snow leopard and it did NOT do a full backup afterwards. I wonder what's going on here.
Yeah, that would happen under Leopard, too: sometimes a full backup (always for me on my old PPC iMac), sometimes not for other folks.
I directly-attached my
GUID drive via USB, erased a +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+ partition, did a full backup, then one small incremental, then did the restore and a backup. No old Leopard backups, no lost time in between, no updates, nothing else in the meantime.
And of course, when I put the drive back on my AEBS and selected the partition with the previous sparse bundle backups (but only from SL), another full backup.
Maybe I'll hear something from Apple one of these days . . .
