velero: Restic backup fails with Fatal: invalid id \"8bcb4ae8\": no matching ID found\n

What steps did you take and what happened: We have a daily schedule that does restic backup of around 120 volumes to s3. Only a part of the volumes are successfully backed up. Let’s say out of 120, 67 succeed and the rest failed with the following error:

Fatal: invalid id "8bc4dae8": no matching ID found\n

The same happens when I trigger one of the failed backup manually. As far as I can see there is no difference from the PVC that succeeds and one that fails.

What did you expect to happen: All volumes are backed up successfully.

The output of the following commands will help us better understand what’s going on: (Pasting long output into a GitHub gist or other pastebin is fine.)

Anything else you would like to add: I can provide more logs if needed

I had this issue with a couple of the pods and it was only resolved with a full reset of velero, removed all crds, bucket etc. I had upgraded from 1.2 to 1.3 previously. So far it hasn’t reoccurred.

Hi, not really. As far as I understood the comment says that all backups are failing, while in my case it’s only like 40% of the backups. I’m off work this week, when I’m back I will try to re-install velero…
