Set 'Legacy Files' to no.
Complete restore and confirm that legacy files does not appear in course.

Description

In our school (which I know isn't unique), we create shell courses with defined names, dates, enrolments, etc.

If you try and restore a 1.9 backup, or a 2.x backup with legacy files, the only way to get legacy files (without which resources and whatnot can break), is to overwrite course config, which will also overwrite names, dates, and various other settings.

Personally I think that these should be decoupled, as they are not really inherently linked.

I have a patch that I'll add to this which spits it out, that we are using.

This is kinda a paradigm thing, so I'm not sure if others are interested in the idea or not...
