This morning, just before AF went down, someone asked the question:
"Do I need to perform a "Wipe ... data/factory reset" before I perform a Nandroid restore?"
(Sorry, I don't remember what user posted that question; and it looks like we lost about 1.5 days worth of postings)
In any event, the answer is "No."; the Nandroid restore operation (in the Amon_RA recovery) wipes all the relevant partitions before it begins the restore operation in each one. Doing a wipe won't hurt anything though.
