Use when Velero backups or restores in Kubernetes fail or do not happen: a BackupStorageLocation that is Unavailable ("is unavailable", NoSuchBucket, AccessDenied, a wrong endpoint or region), a Backup in FailedValidation, Failed or PartiallyFailed, or stuck in New, Queued or InProgress, a Schedule in FailedValidation ("invalid schedule") or that makes no backups, a Restore that is Completed with warnings but did not bring objects back ("already exists…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Velero troubleshooting Find out why a Velero backup, schedule or restore did not do what the user expected, from Velero's own objects and its server log, and propose a fix. **Read first, ask before changing.** Run the investigation commands freely. Run a command under an "Ask first" line only after the user approves that exact command; if your credentials do not allow it, give it to the user to run. Never run a "Proposed fix"; hand it to the user. How Velero works, in the parts that fail: - The **Velero server** (Deployment `velero`, usually in the namespace `velero`) runs every controller. Provider plugins (`velero-plugin-for-aws`, `-gcp`, `-microsoft-azure`) are init containers that copy themselves into it. - A **BackupStorageLocation** (BSL) is the bucket and prefix where backups go. The server checks each BSL regularly and sets its phase to `Available` or `Unavailable`. A **VolumeSnapshotLocation** says where the provider's volume snapshots go. - A **Backup** writes the selected Kubernetes objects (Secrets included) as a tarball to its BSL, plus volume data by one of three ways: provider snapshots, CSI snapshots …

How to install
mdr add k8s-servant/k8s-skills/k8s-velero-troubleshooting@sha256:ea2167631fb53d6fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.a5d0ab1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
