agent verified a Rubrik restore by checking snapshot existence instead of booting the VM and passed a corrupt image

Existence is not restorability: the agent passed a corrupt image because its verification stopped at the snapshot listing. Use when an agent running restore verification for Rubrik-protected VMs. Not for a snapshot whose VM boots but whose application data is stale by design, such as a crash-consistent copy, where the…

agent counted offline VMs as patched after a snapshot revert restored their pre-patch state

Fixes this failure: judge VM patch compliance from inside the guest after the snapshot revert point: tag snapshots taken for patching, alert when a patched VM is reverted. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.

Velero restore failed "pod volume backup failed: snapshot is in failed state"

The pod volume snapshot underneath the restore is in a failed state, so the namespace metadata restores but the volume data cannot: inspect the pod volume backup objects for the failed snapshot, read the uploader's error for that volume, and fix its cause, commonly a full repository, a locked snapshot, or a node that …

agent conflated snapshot presence with backup success for Zerto VPGs in a replication lag report

Snapshot or checkpoint presence is not replication health for Zerto: health is the VPG's RPO against its SLA and its sync state, and a VPG can hold checkpoints while lagging hours behind. Use when an agent reporting Zerto replication lag for protected VPGs. Not for a VPG in a planned initial sync whose lag is expected…

Nakivo restore failed "failed to create target VM: datastore is inaccessible"

The target datastore being inaccessible at restore time is a host-side storage condition: check the datastore's state on the target host in the hypervisor, whether it is mounted, its free space, and whether a storage event, a lost LUN or an NFS outage, made it vanish after the job was configured. Use when a Nakivo res…

Azure Backup failed "extension installation failed with code 0x80070005" for VM snapshot

Error 0x80070005 is access denied inside the guest: the Azure VM agent cannot install or run the backup extension because of in-guest permissions, a locked-down extension path, or security software blocking the extension's binaries. Use when an Azure Backup job protecting an Azure VM with the snapshot extension. Not f…

Cohesity restore failed "failed to register VM with the hypervisor" error

Registration is where the restored VM meets the hypervisor's rules: check the target host or cluster, datastore space and permissions, and name collisions with an existing VM of the same name. Use when a Cohesity recovery restoring a VM to its hypervisor. Not for a restore whose data copy itself failed earlier, where …

Rubrik restore failed "mount point already in use" live mount error

The mount point is still held by an earlier live mount, a leftover test restore that was never unmounted: list the mounts for that VM or snapshot, unmount the stale one cleanly, and confirm the mount host and datastore are the ones this restore targets before retrying. Use when a Rubrik live mount restore of a VM snap…

Rubrik backup job failed "snapshot creation failed for virtual machine" error

Snapshot creation failing for a VM is a hypervisor-side conversation first: check the VM's snapshot state in vSphere, free space on its datastore, and whether a stale snapshot or a locked disk from an earlier job is blocking a new one. Use when a Rubrik protection job backing up VMware virtual machines. Not for a VM w…

restic forget failed "cannot remove snapshot: read-only repository" error

forget cannot remove snapshots from a repository mounted read only, whether by filesystem mount options, an object store bucket policy, or a storage appliance presenting a locked tier: determine which layer enforces the read-only state and move the maintenance operation to where writes are allowed, or adjust the mount…

Commvault IntelliSnap backup failed "snapshot creation failed: array is offline"

The array is offline from IntelliSnap's point of view, which usually means the array's management state, the snapshot engine's view of it, or the connectivity between the MediaAgent and the array: check the array's status in the Commvault array management view, refresh the array's credentials and connectivity, and con…

nakivo backup failed "target repository is inaccessible"

Describes how to fix a Nakivo backup failing with target repository is inaccessible by checking the transporter, repository path and share, stored access and free space, then refreshing the repository state. Use when Nakivo jobs fail at the target stage. Not for a Nakivo source VM snapshot failure.

proxmox backup failed "vzdump: snapshot mode failure"

Describes how to fix a Proxmox backup failing with vzdump snapshot mode failure by checking whether the VM disk storage supports snapshots, free space and guest agent freeze, and choosing a workable mode. Use when vzdump snapshot mode fails on a live VM. Not for a vzdump failure caused only by a full backup target.
