Hello @pehruby. Thank you for reporting the issue.

It is related to the disk driver legacy setting in the backup template (device: "/dev/sdb") of the Manager, hence the restore is failing.
PR opened to update it in the tool: #131

In the meantime, you can update this setting in your backup (cml_topology.yaml), which you are using to restore.

 configuration: |-
    #cloud-config
    fs_setup:
    - device: "/dev/vdb".  <<==  should be vdb
      partition: "none"
      filesystem: "ext4"
    mounts:
    - [ vdb, /opt/data ]    <<==   should be vdb

Thanks Anatolii.
