Restore Time machine backup creates two new Volumes

After upgraded to Big Sur, I've decided to restore Catalina. I used a time machine backup. I got some problem at the beginning, but now it's ok, the only problem which remain is that there are two new Volumes named "Machintosh SSD - Dati" and "Update".

"Machintosh SSD" is the main drive.


What are they and how to remove them?

In Disk Utilities and refer to below image.


That " Update " Volume can be removed by using the Minis ( - ) sign. That volume is showing as a mount point of /Volumes/ Update and a left over from Big Sur installation.


The " Macintosh SSD" and " Macintosh SSD Dati " must be kept.


Why, starring in Catalina, Apple has make two Volumes on the drive. The First is where the Operations System is and is Read Only, the Macintosh SSD - Dati is where your Personal Files and Applications are kept.
