Backup File Server to DAS

 Okay yes. A system level restore does a full erase either by wiping the drive while applying a full image or by doing a block level rollback. In both cases it is effectively an entire erasure of the system.

 Just an FYI: formatting would always erase things, but just erasing does not format. Formatting is a specific filesystem operation. So I would use erase in a discussion like this rather than format. Because technically it erases but does not format.
