Apparently you had some stuff in the database you took as template when 
creating the database. To restore a full backup of a db, I'd recommend 
to use template0.

Restore is not for updating, but as the name says for reconstructing 
empty databases and tables from scratch. It's on your own responsibility 
to make sure your restore target is as empty as restore expects it.
