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 …

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…

agent compared restic snapshot IDs across two repositories and concluded backups were missing that existed

Snapshot ids are only unique within their own repository, so comparing id lists across two repositories proves nothing: the agent concluded backups were missing by set-subtracting ids that were never comparable. Use when an agent auditing restic backups kept in two repositories. Not for two repositories intended as re…

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.

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…

agent restored to a host without checking datastore free space and the VM failed to power on mid-test

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…
