restored internal drive volume name problem

[otter]

I'm having this same problem. I've been using Smart Update and had to do a restore to my startup disk. After the restore in Disk Utility, I rebooted with the Opt key, but Macintosh HD was not one of the options, only the name of my sparsebundle backup. I tried again, making sure the backup drive was not connect, but got the same result.

I booted into the true Mac HD (now called MBP_BK) and changed it's name to Macintosh HD in Finder. However, in the sidebar it still says MBP_BK and I can't find a way to change it.

Trying my 3rd restore, having named the mounted sparsebundle Macintosh HD, which added a "1" at the end in the Finder field, as expected since that drive was already mounted. When I chose the source and destination in Disk Utility the confirmation said something like "replacing 'Macintosh HD' with 'Macintosh HD'" (without the "1") so maybe this will work.

But why would the restore adopt the name of my backup? Even the user guide screenshot shows the bundle's name as "Backup."
