What this PR does

An in-place VMInstance restore with keepOriginalPVC: false reports Succeeded without restoring the disks, and leaves every disk it touched unable to come back. prepareForRestore deletes each DataVolume with Orphan propagation and leaves the PVC in place, on the assumption, stated in the deleteDataVolume comment, that Velero overwrites it. Velero does not overwrite a PVC. Its CSI restore action returns early for a claim that already exists, so no DataDownload is ever created, and with existingResourcePolicy: update the merge patch it attempts instead is rejected because a bound claim's spec is immutable. All that reaches the claim is the labels-only fallback patch, which also drops the cdi.kubevirt.io/allowClaimAdoption annotation the resource modifier added.

The claim left behind then blocks the disk for good. Orphan propagation has removed its owner reference to the DataVolume, and it lacks the cdi.kubevirt.io/storage.populatedFor annotation that kubevirt-velero-plugin writes on the backed-up copy, so when the HelmRelease resumes, the CDI webhook refuses the DataVolume it creates with Destination PVC <ns>/<name> already exists, on every reconcile. Deleting the disk through the API leaves the PVC behind, and a new disk of the same name fails the same way.

Observed on a v1.6.3 cluster, for a VMInstance restore with keepOriginalPVC: false whose disk was attached to the VM. The Velero log for the restore, trimmed:

level=info msg="Retrieved per-restore resource modifiers from configmap cozy-velero/restore-modifiers-..."
level=warning msg="PVC already exists and ExistingVolumeDataPolicy is not in-place restore. Skip restore this PVC." Action=PVCCSIRestoreItemAction PVC=tenant-datalab/vm-disk-e2edisk
level=info msg="Applying resource modifier patch on tenant-datalab/vm-disk-e2edisk"
level=warning msg="patch attempt failed for /v1, Kind=PersistentVolumeClaim tenant-datalab/vm-disk-e2edisk: PersistentVolumeClaim \"vm-disk-e2edisk\" is invalid: spec: Forbidden: spec is immutable after creation except resources.requests and volumeAttributesClassName for bound claims"
level=info msg="backup/restore labels successfully updated for PersistentVolumeClaim tenant-datalab/vm-disk-e2edisk"

velero restore describe --details lists the PVC as (failed) and the Restore is Completed with two warnings. Afterwards the claim had its original creation timestamp and UID, no owner reference, no allowClaimAdoption, no populatedFor, and the disk's HelmRelease was Ready=False with the webhook error above. That cluster runs a Velero build from main, whose wording is quoted above; the released v1.17.1 and v1.18.3 return early at the same point with PVC already exists. Skip restore this PVC. (pkg/restore/actions/csi/pvc_action.go).

The fix deletes the PVC when keepOriginalPVC is false, only once its DataVolume is confirmed gone so that CDI cannot recreate it, and holds the Velero Restore until the claim has actually disappeared. A claim still mounted stays Terminating behind kubernetes.io/pvc-protection, and creating the Restore then would hit the same existing-claim path. Velero then creates the PVC from the backup, the data mover fills it, and the recreated DataVolume adopts it through populatedFor. A failed deletion now fails the RestoreJob instead of letting it report Succeeded over the old data. Before 2234824 the DataVolume was deleted with background propagation, so garbage collection removed the claim, but nothing waited for it.

Deleting the claim is only safe when Velero can put the disk back, so before any preparation the reconciler now gets the Velero Backup and fails the RestoreJob unless it exists and is Completed. The Backup artifact outlives the Velero Backup, which Velero garbage-collects at its TTL, and without the check a restore of an expired backup would halt the VM and delete its disks before failing. The check runs for every Velero restore, whatever keepOriginalPVC says. A DataVolume that cannot be deleted now fails the RestoreJob too, and the preparation waits for every DataVolume to be gone before it goes further: a surviving DataVolume makes CDI recreate the claim, which Velero then skips. Reading the DataVolume back needs get on datavolumes, which the backupstrategy-controller ClusterRole now grants next to delete.

TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCFalse_SkipsRename asserted the old behaviour, that the original PVC survives, and is replaced by TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCFalse_DeletesPVC. TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCFalse_WaitsForTerminatingPVC covers the wait. Both fail on upstream/main without the controller change. TestReconcileVeleroRestore_UnusableVeleroBackupTouchesNothing covers an expired Velero Backup and one being deleted, TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCFalse_KeepsPVCWhileDataVolumeRemains a failed and a pending DataVolume deletion, and TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCTrue_FailedRenameKeepsPVC a failed rename under keepOriginalPVC: true, which must leave the claim in place. A helm-unittest suite, tests/restore_rbac_test.yaml, checks the new verb. Each test fails with its fix reverted, with one exception: TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCTrue_FailedRenameKeepsPVC still passes with the Step 5 condition cut to vmRes != nil, because a failed rename holds the restore back before Step 5 is reached. That guard is pinned by TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVC_CacheLagsBehindWrites, which fails with the same cut. helm unittest packages/system/backupstrategy-controller passes. go test ./internal/backupcontroller/... passes.

Related: #4601 reports the same Velero mechanism for a standalone VMDisk, where prepareForRestore does nothing at all because collectUnderlyingResources records no disk. #3427 makes a VMDisk report its own disk; with keepOriginalPVC: false that path then runs into this defect too, and this change covers it once both are in. This PR does not touch the VMDisk path itself.

N/A — no UI changes.

Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map against the diff, which is the restore preparation in internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go and its unit tests, plus one verb in the backupstrategy-controller ClusterRole and its helm-unittest: no package added or renamed, no values.yaml or values.schema.json change, no CRD, ApplicationDefinition, label, annotation, namespace or metric change. keepOriginalPVC lives in the opaque RestoreJob.spec.options, and a search of the organisation finds it only in this repository, so neither the website nor the Terraform provider documents or models it.

Release note

fix(backups): an in-place VMInstance RestoreJob with keepOriginalPVC=false now deletes each original disk PVC, and waits for it to be gone, before Velero restores it. Previously the PVC was left in place, Velero skipped restoring its data, the RestoreJob still reported Succeeded, and the disk's HelmRelease could never recreate its DataVolume ("Destination PVC already exists"). A Velero RestoreJob now also fails before touching the application when its Velero Backup is gone or not Completed, for example after the Backup expired at its TTL.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • When a restore is configured not to keep the original disk claim, the claim is deleted before Velero restores it, allowing Velero to recreate it.
    • Restores wait while the original disk claim or its DataVolume is being deleted. Deletion or status-check errors stop restore preparation.
    • Restores configured to keep the original disk claim continue to preserve it.
    • Restores stop before changing resources if the referenced Velero backup is missing or has not completed.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Velero Backup validation and resource resolution
internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go, internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller_test.go
Reconciliation fetches the referenced Velero Backup. A missing or non-Completed backup fails the RestoreJob. Underlying resources come from Backup status when available, or from the fetched backup annotation. Tests check unusable backups.
DataVolume and PVC deletion during preparation
internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go, internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller_test.go
Preparation waits for DataVolumes to disappear and fails on deletion errors. When KeepOriginalPVC is false, it also deletes original PVCs and waits for their removal. Tests cover pending and failed deletion, DataVolume presence, and PVC preservation.
DataVolume permissions
packages/system/backupstrategy-controller/templates/rbac.yaml, packages/system/backupstrategy-controller/tests/restore_rbac_test.yaml
The RBAC rule grants DataVolume get and delete access. The Helm test checks both verbs.

mattia-eleuteri NOT LGTM. The problem is real and deleting the claim is the right fix, but the delete now runs before anything checks that the backup can be restored, and that turns a failed restore into a lost disk.

The defect itself is confirmed on current main: with keepOriginalPVC: false the PVC stays in place, Velero's CSI PVC action returns early for an existing claim, and the RestoreJob reports Succeeded over the old data.

B1: the original PVC is deleted without checking that the Velero Backup exists

The restore path reads only the backup name from driverMetadata before prepareForRestore runs, and the only velerov1.Backup read on that path (resolveUnderlyingResourcesForRestore) ignores a lookup error. Both default Velero strategies set ttl: 720h0m0s, so Velero garbage-collects the Backup after 30 days, while the cozystack Backup artifact stays: BackupReconciler acts only on its own deletion. A RestoreJob for such an artifact with keepOriginalPVC: false now halts the VM, deletes the DataVolume and the PVC, and only then creates a Velero Restore that cannot find its backup and fails validation. With a Delete reclaim policy, the Kubernetes default, the volume is gone too. On main the same RestoreJob also fails, but the disk survives.

Fix: before prepareForRestore touches anything, get the Velero Backup and fail the RestoreJob unless it exists and is Completed. That check is worth doing for keepOriginalPVC: true as well, since it saves halting a VM for nothing, but for false it is what keeps the deletion safe.

B2: the PVC is deleted even when its DataVolume could not be deleted

Step 4 turns a deleteDataVolume error into a Warning event and carries on, and Step 5 then deletes the PVC. With the DataVolume still in place, CDI's DataVolume controller creates a fresh claim under the same name, Velero then skips it as an existing PVC, and the restore ends Succeeded on a freshly imported disk instead of the backup. Step 5 should run only for disks whose DataVolume is confirmed gone, and a failed DataVolume deletion should hold the restore back or fail it.

B3: the guard that keeps a PVC the user asked to keep has no test

Changing the condition of Step 5 from !opts.GetKeepOriginalPVC() && vmRes != nil to vmRes != nil keeps every test green. With keepOriginalPVC: true the rename usually removes the original name first, so the existing tests cannot tell, but when a rename fails (its error is only an event on this branch) that condition is the one thing between the user's kept disk and a delete. A test with keepOriginalPVC: true and a rename that fails, asserting the original PVC still exists, would pin it.

What I ran on a merge of the head with current main: go test ./internal/backupcontroller/... passes. Turning Step 5 off fails both new tests, and treating a Terminating PVC as gone fails TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCFalse_WaitsForTerminatingPVC.

CI: the red E2E Tests is bucket-1-capacity alone, which this diff does not reach. No e2e suite on main runs an in-place VM restore, so the unit tests are the only coverage of this path.

Ordering with #3427: once it lands, a standalone VMDisk restore goes through this step too. Its current head refuses a disk that a running Pod still mounts before anything is changed, and this PR needs that check: without it, deleting a mounted claim leaves it Terminating behind pvc-protection until the VM stops, and then the volume goes with it.

Aleksei Sviridkin (@lexfrei) thanks, all three are addressed in 4ddf320.

B1. Before prepareForRestore touches anything, the reconciler now gets the Velero Backup and fails the RestoreJob unless it exists and is Completed. This applies to every Velero restore: keepOriginalPVC true or false, and copies too. resolveUnderlyingResourcesForRestore now takes that Backup instead of looking it up again, so the lookup error it used to swallow is gone. TestReconcileVeleroRestore_UnusableVeleroBackupTouchesNothing covers an expired Backup and one in Deleting, and asserts that the VM's runStrategy, the DataVolume and the PVC are all left as they were.

B2. deleteDataVolume now reports whether the DataVolume is gone, since Orphan propagation keeps it behind the orphan finalizer until garbage collection releases the claim. A deletion error fails the RestoreJob, and Step 4 requeues while any DataVolume is still there, so Step 5 only runs once all of them are gone. Step 4 does this for keepOriginalPVC: true too, because a surviving DataVolume recreates the claim after the rename in the same way. Reading the DataVolume back needs get on datavolumes, and the ClusterRole only granted delete. I added get and a helm-unittest that checks for it. TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCFalse_KeepsPVCWhileDataVolumeRemains covers both a failed deletion and a pending one.

B3. TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCTrue_FailedRenameKeepsPVC binds the claim to a PV that does not exist, so the rename fails, and asserts that the original PVC survives.

I reverted each fix on its own and the matching test failed every time: the Velero Backup check removed, a DataVolume deletion error turned back into an event, no wait for a pending DataVolume, and the Step 5 condition cut down to vmRes != nil.

On #3427: in the VMInstance path, Step 2 halts the VM and waits for its VMI to be gone before Step 5 deletes anything, so the only mount left is a virt-launcher pod that is already shutting down. This PR does not reach the standalone VMDisk path. Agreed that the mounted-disk refusal in #3427 has to stay once that path runs through Step 5.

…ut keepOriginalPVC

With keepOriginalPVC=false the restore deleted each DataVolume with
Orphan propagation and left its PVC in place for Velero to overwrite.
Velero never overwrites a PVC: its CSI restore action skips the data
mover for a claim that already exists, and existingResourcePolicy=update
fails to patch the immutable spec of a bound claim, so it only stamps
its labels on it. The RestoreJob then reports Succeeded with the disk
still holding its pre-restore data.

The claim left behind also breaks the disk for good. It has lost its
owner reference to the orphaned DataVolume, and it lacks the
cdi.kubevirt.io/storage.populatedFor annotation that the backed-up copy
carries, so the CDI webhook refuses the DataVolume the resumed
HelmRelease creates ("Destination PVC already exists"), on every
reconcile.

Delete the PVC once its DataVolume is gone, and hold the Velero Restore
until the claim has actually disappeared: one still mounted stays
Terminating behind pvc-protection, and Velero would take it for an
existing claim again.

Deleting the original PVC of a keepOriginalPVC=false restore is only
safe when Velero can put the disk back. The Backup artifact outlives
the Velero Backup it points to, which Velero garbage-collects at TTL,
and nothing checked it before prepareForRestore halted the VM and
deleted the disks: a restore of an expired backup lost the volume where
it used to fail with the disk intact. The Velero Backup must now exist
and be Completed before any preparation starts.

A DataVolume that survives its deletion makes CDI recreate the claim
under the original name, which Velero then skips as an existing PVC,
so the restore would end Succeeded on a freshly imported disk. A failed
DataVolume deletion now fails the restore, and the PVCs are deleted
only once every DataVolume is gone. Reading the DataVolume back needs
get on datavolumes, which the ClusterRole did not grant.

Keep the source disks recoverable until the restore succeeds.

For keepOriginalPVC=false, Step 5 can delete one PVC and requeue while a later PVC is still terminating. No Velero Restore exists yet, so the next reconciliation repeats the Backup preflight. If the Backup expires during that wait, the NotFound branch permanently fails the RestoreJob after a source disk has been deleted. Preserve the source PVs through successful restore, then clean them up for keepOriginalPVC=false.

lines 701 - 720:
Move source PVC/PV cleanup for keepOriginalPVC=false out of Step 5 and defer it
until the Velero restore succeeds. Keep the source disks intact across requeues
and preflight failures in the RestoreJob flow around the Velero Backup preflight
and prepareForRestore.

mattia-eleuteri LGTM. The Velero Backup is checked before anything is touched, a DataVolume that fails to delete or is still there holds the restore back, and the PVCs go only after every DataVolume is gone. On a merge of the head with current main, go vet and go test ./internal/backupcontroller/... pass. Dropping the phase check, turning the DataVolume error back into continue, or removing the DataVolume wait each fails a test.

One correction for the description, since it becomes the merge commit. TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCTrue_FailedRenameKeepsPVC still passes with the Step 5 condition cut to vmRes != nil: a failed rename holds the restore back before Step 5, so the test never reaches the guard. The guard is still pinned, because the same change fails TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVC_CacheLagsBehindWrites, so nothing to fix in the code. Only the "Each test fails with its fix reverted" sentence is not true for that one.

This PR and #4673 each pass on main but fail together. TestReconcileRestore_DoesNotRetryAJobItAlreadyFailed from #4673 has no Velero Backup in its fixture, so with the new check its first run fails the RestoreJob before it suspends the HelmRelease. A Completed Velero Backup vb in cozy-velero in that fixture makes it pass, and whichever PR lands second needs it.
