A Velero restore of a VMDisk or a VMInstance deletes the disk's
DataVolume and restores the PVC under its name, with no owner. The
restored release is in sync, so nothing recreates the DataVolume until
the next Helm upgrade, typically a platform update. That upgrade is
refused by CDI's admission webhook ("Destination PVC ... already
exists") and the release stays failed, followed by the VMInstance
release that looks the disk up.
CDI admits a DataVolume over an existing claim only when the
DataVolume carries cdi.kubevirt.io/allowClaimAdoption or the
DataVolumeClaimAdoption feature gate is on. The restore controller
puts the annotation on the restored PVC, where CDI never reads it, and
the CDI CR does not enable the gate. Setting it on the DataVolume
keeps the scope to vm-disk instead of every DataVolume in the cluster,
and does not depend on a gate CDI intends to remove. A claim CDI
created for this DataVolume carries its uid in createdForDataVolume
and is never treated as adoptable, so a fresh import is unaffected.
The VMDisk backup round-trip now forces an upgrade after the restore,
which is what reaches the failure, and checks that the DataVolume
adopted the restored PVC instead of replacing it.

The disabled hack/e2e-chainsaw/backup/ suite was a Chainsaw port of the retired
backup.bats, written against the old backup API, so the VMInstance and standalone
VMDisk Velero paths had no e2e coverage. Replace it with two round-trips in the
vminstance suite that drive the validated examples/backups/{vmi,vmdisk} scripts,
so the documented demo and the automated test stay in step.
Both run un-gated in CI:
- vminstance-2-backup-roundtrip boots a tiny cirros VM (u1.nano, 2Gi), backs it
up via BackupClass + BackupJob, restores in place, and asserts the VM returns
Running off a disk PVC the restore created: a new uid, Velero's restore-name
label and the -orig- PVC keepOriginalPVC leaves behind. The label alone is not
enough, because existingResourcePolicy: update also stamps it on a PVC Velero
only patched, which moves no data. A guest-side boot proof is unavailable: the
KubeVirt CR disables serial-console logging and cirros ships no guest-agent.
- vmdisk-2-backup-roundtrip imports a 5Gi disk, backs it up, and restores it in
place with the same three assertions. The controller prepares the target
(suspend HelmRelease, delete DataVolume, rename PVC). On a WaitForFirstConsumer
class the Velero data mover waits for a Pod to select a node for the restored
PVC, which a detached disk never gets, so the script starts a pause Pod on the
new PVC, standing in for the VM that would attach it.
The disk storageClass is an override (default replicated; the CI steps pass the
lane's COZY_E2E_STORAGE_CLASS, 'local' on the DRBD-off gate) and the script waits
are bounded so their worst case stays under the 40m op timeout, sized to keep the
whole parallel:1 suite inside the 215m job cap. On failure the catch also dumps
the Velero Restore, DataDownload and DataUpload objects. Each harness stands up a
throwaway in-cluster BSL (the platform cozy-default BSL derives the external S3
endpoint, unroutable in kind); its finally resumes the suspended HelmReleases,
reclaims the keepOriginalPVC orig PVC and its LINSTOR volume, and drains the
Velero backups before deleting the BSL. The example scripts are non-interactive
so the harness can drive them.
