Fixes agent failed to complete the job to build an audit evidence package in the work covered by this query by taking the specific step below first. Use when this exact failure blocks collection, review, or fulfilment. Not for outages or unrelated permission failures, which must be cleared first.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent validated a backup by its file size alone and missed in-archive corruption found on extraction - agent's log parser failed on rotated backup logs and missed the real failure

Check the target before the restore, not during it: the test failed mid-way because nobody verified the datastore could hold the restored VM. Use when an agent running restore tests onto hypervisor hosts. Not for a thin-provisioned VM whose real consumption is far below its provisioned size, where the pre-flight shoul…
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 …
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent restored to a host without checking datastore free space and the VM failed to power on mid-test - [agent restored a Kubernetes namespace without its secrets and declared the application recover…

Restore tests must be scheduled against the backup calendar, not in its blind spot: the agent's tests competed with production backups for repository throughput and slowed both. Use when an agent scheduling restore verification tests on shared repositories. Not for a repository with genuine idle capacity during its ba…
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…
Fixes this failure: slow the agent's Instatus polling to a sensible interval (and use webhooks where available), back off when quota warnings appear. 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.
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…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent verified a Rubrik restore by checking snapshot existence instead of booting the VM and passed a corrupt image - [agent restored to a host without checking datastore free space and the VM failed…

Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent quarantined a test that only failed because the agent itself left a stale docker container running - [agent quarantined tests that failed only because its own prior run left the database dirty]…

Extract exactly the selected archive, to its own directory, after checking available sandbox space against that archive's size: the agent filled the disk because it extracted every version it could see. Use when an agent extracting Borg archives for a restore test. Not for an investigation that genuinely needs two ver…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's parallel restore tests crashed the sandbox and every test failed - agent's restore sandbox ran out of inodes during extraction and verification failed

Restore tests belong in a dedicated test vault and resource group, never the production vault: the agent's test against the production vault tripped soft-delete protections because production vaults carry the strictest settings. Use when an agent running automated restore tests for Azure Backup. Not for a one-off fore…

Every test restore gets a unique name and its own lifecycle: reusing one name meant each run destroyed the previous test's evidence and, worse, could collide with a restore someone was still examining. Use when an agent running recurring restore verification tests. Not for a deliberately persistent golden test VM that…
