SQL Backup and HyperBac Config

I recently ran into an issue where a restore presented the following message:
5/5/2011 8:41:02 AM: SQL error 3257: SQL error 3257: There is insufficient free space on disk volume 'F:\' to create the database. The database requires 160429965312 additional free bytes, while only 100931731456 bytes are available.
the F: drive had 230GB free and it puzzled me for a few hours. We also have Virtual Restore installed on the server and the Hyperbac Config file had a VirtualDisk=94 entry which corresponds exactly to the 100931732456. I changed it to 200 and all works well. Is SQLBackup supposed to use this Config file for simple (non-virtual) restores?
