I created a 500GB backup *.tib file
successfully restored to a 1TB capacity hard drive
However, the full capacity is not restored
500GB left empty, the previous version is OK,

why not 2018? ?

Did you use the Recovery Media to perform the restore of the backup?  If so it is fairly easy to miss selecting the Full disk option and only selecting disk partitions individually which will result in your situation.

You should be able to use a third party tool such as Minitool to extend the disk partitions as needed.  Windows Disk Management might also be used for this purpose.
