GitHub user Luskan777 closed a discussion: NAS Backup - Support restore to CEPH RBD
### problem Hello, I'm using NAS backup, and I'm having trouble restoring backups to the primary storage Ceph RBD. Currently, the documentation states that the [Ceph primary storage type is supported](https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/nas_plugin.html), but I have doubts as to whether it is actually supported, or if the documentation refers to CephFS. I can perform the backup normally, which leads me to believe that it is indeed supported; however, when restoring the backup, it returns the following errors: KVM agent logs: ``` 2025-11-17 18:01:42,288 DEBUG [utils.script.Script] (AgentRequest-Handler-2:[]) (logid:acdce457) Executing command [/bin/bash -c sudo mount -t nfs 10.15.30.102:/mnt/backup /usr/share/cloudstack-agent/tmp/csbackup.FIYta12343983814195024402 ]. 2025-11-17 18:01:42,401 DEBUG [utils.script.Script] (AgentRequest-Handler-2:[]) (logid:acdce457) Successfully executed process [95184] for command [/bin/bash -c sudo mount -t nfs 10.15.30.102:/mnt/backup /usr/share/cloudstack-agent/tmp/csbackup.FIYta12343983814195024402 ]. 2025-11-17 18:01:42,401 DEBUG [utils.script.Script] (AgentRequest-Handler-2:[]) (logid:acdce457) Executing command [/bin/bash -c rsync -az /usr/share/cloudstack-agent/tmp/csbackup.FIYta12343983814195024402/i-2-8160-VM/2025.11.17.15.31.11/root.f20043f7-1bf9-4bc2-98b1-b8e00cf5b97f.qcow2 /mnt/39eb8eaf-5196-35bf-8758-ddad77f491e9/f20043f7-1bf9-4bc2-98b1-b8e00cf5b97f ]. 2025-11-17 18:01:42,411 WARN [utils.script.Script] (AgentRequest-Handler-2:[]) (logid:acdce457) Execution of process [95200] for command [/bin/bash -c rsync -az /usr/share/cloudstack-agent/tmp/csbackup.FIYta12343983814195024402/i-2-8160-VM/2025.11.17.15.31.11/root.f20043f7-1bf9-4bc2-98b1-b8e00cf5b97f.qcow2 /mnt/39eb8eaf-5196-35bf-8758-ddad77f491e9/f20043f7-1bf9-4bc2-98b1-b8e00cf5b97f ] failed. 2025-11-17 18:01:42,411 DEBUG [utils.script.Script] (AgentRequest-Handler-2:[]) (logid:acdce457) Exit value of process [95200] for command [/bin/bash -c rsync -az /usr/share/cloudstack-agent/tmp/csbackup.FIYta12343983814195024402/i-2-8160-VM/2025.11.17.15.31.11/root.f20043f7-1bf9-4bc2-98b1-b8e00cf5b97f.qcow2 /mnt/39eb8eaf-5196-35bf-8758-ddad77f491e9/f20043f7-1bf9-4bc2-98b1-b8e00cf5b97f ] is [3]. 2025-11-17 18:01:42,411 WARN [utils.script.Script] (AgentRequest-Handler-2:[]) (logid:acdce457) Process [95200] for command [/bin/bash -c rsync -az /usr/share/cloudstack-agent/tmp/csbackup.FIYta12343983814195024402/i-2-8160-VM/2025.11.17.15.31.11/root.f20043f7-1bf9-4bc2-98b1-b8e00cf5b97f.qcow2 /mnt/39eb8eaf-5196-35bf-8758-ddad77f491e9/f20043f7-1bf9-4bc2-98b1-b8e00cf5b97f ] encountered the error: [3]. 2025-11-17 18:01:42,412 DEBUG [utils.script.Script] (AgentRequest-Handler-2:[]) (logid:acdce457) Executing command [/bin/bash -c sudo umount /usr/share/cloudstack-agent/tmp/csbackup.FIYta12343983814195024402 ]. 2025-11-17 18:01:42,471 DEBUG [utils.script.Script] (AgentRequest-Handler-2:[]) (logid:acdce457) Successfully executed process [95202] for command [/bin/bash -c sudo umount /usr/share/cloudstack-agent/tmp/csbackup.FIYta12343983814195024402 ]. 2025-11-17 18:01:42,471 ERROR [resource.wrapper.LibvirtRestoreBackupCommandWrapper] (AgentRequest-Handler-2:[]) (logid:acdce457) Failed to restore backup for VM: i-2-8160-VM.

We can confirm this because the path /mnt /39eb8eaf-5196-35bf-8758-ddad77f491e9/f20043f7-1bf9-4bc2-98b1-b8e00cf5b97f has the ID of my primary storage (39eb8eaf-5196-35bf-8758-ddad77f491e9) ### versions **Version**: 4.21.0 **Agents**: KVM (Ubuntu 22) **Zone Type**: Advanced Network **Primary Storage**: Ceph RBD **Secondary Storage**: NFS ### The steps to reproduce the bug 1. Add Ceph (RBD) as primary storage 2. Add NFS Backup Repository 3. Deploy Instance 4. Execute Backup on the virtual machine 5. Restore virtual machine backup ([restoreBackup](https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.21/apis/restoreBackup.html)) ... ### What to do about it? Restore backups of Ceph RBD-based volumes.
