Yes, the other zones' directories are created & destroyed.  Such an annoying
behaviour that I permanently created the two directories for zones 1 & 2, with
a .jpg called 'KilroyWasHere' in each.  It might be a virtual HD but all the
disk thrashing still irked me.

Many other, otherwise, normally empty directories also have a copy of the same
jpg file, to aid in the backup process.  It's just a little over 1k.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
