This issue is reported by imran in one of the opensource slack channel. While taking backup I am getting the following error

time="2019-04-03T08:57:22Z" level=info msg="Backup completed with errors: [pod volume backup failed: error getting volume path on host: expected one matching path, got 0, pod volume backup failed: error getting volume path on host: expected one matching path, got 0]" backup=velero/wp-bkp-openebs-1 logSource="pkg/backup/backup.go:297"

After debugging this issue, found that the restic pods are not seeing any pod related directories under the /host_pods mount. Its with the setting of the Restic daemonset for Rancher OS. In RancherOS , the path is not /var/lib/kubelet/pods , rather it is /opt/rke/var/lib/kubelet/pods For resolving this issue, need to change the hostpath from "/var/lib/kubelet/pods" to "/opt/rke/var/lib/kubelet/pods" Example snippet:

     volumes:
        - name: cloud-credentials
          secret:
            secretName: cloud-credentials
        - name: host-pods
          hostPath:
            path: /opt/rke/var/lib/kubelet/pods
        - name: scratch
