We are running a Kasten K10 v7.5.3, using NFS service as export profile.  Kasten DR Policy has been enabled.


Following the documentation “Recovering Veeam Kasten From a Disaster via Helm” in doc page: https://docs.kasten.io/7.5.10/operating/dr the recovery seems to work fine and effectively all applications are correctly restored with data. 
But all the backup policy from that moment on will fail with following error: 

                stderr: \e[31mERROR\e[0m unable to get repository storage: found

                existing data in storage location"
 


here the failure details:

- cause: '{"cause":{"cause":{"cause":{"cause":{"cause":{"message":"command
              terminated with exit code 1.\nstdout: \nstderr:
              \u001b[31mERROR\u001b[0m unable to get repository storage: found

              location"},"file":"github.com/kanisterio/kanister@v0.0.0-20250127193535-3fb7f42ff723/pkg/kube/exec.go","function":"github.com/kanisterio/kanister/pkg/kube.ExecWithOptions","linenumber":156,"message":"Failed

            message: Job failed to be executed

 

 

 

all the application seems to be restorable but not more backup runs.
