Having the Newt as a blank slate (unknown owner) the device restore then can “populate” the Newt (this is my attempt at an explanation!)

This is some excellent sleuthing, Rob.

I’ve never attempted to completely restore a device from a backup (believe it or not), so I’ve never run into a situation like this.

If we can duplicate this issue with another NCX setup, I would like add some mention of it to the NCX page.

You’re very welcome!
