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.
