      Description of problem:

      Restore of a RHEL 8 VM using Restic fails to successfully restore the VM so that it can boot off the restored pvc. 

      Backup has been taken using Restic and stored to ODF MCG S3 based bucket (there were 3 warnings but flagged as successful). 
      After removing the namespace and restoring the VM from backup, all resources are restored and the VM starts but is unable to find a bootable device.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      OCP 4.12.13

      ODF 4.12.2

      OADP 1.1.3

      How reproducible:

      Alsways

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Create DPA without VolSync but Restic enabled pointing to MCG S3 route of ODF
      2. create a backup for a VM RHEL8
      3. remove the VM and namespace containing the VM
      4. restore namespace and VM from backup using a restore CR - it restores the namespace, and all related, including pvc, but VM fails on booting from the pvc based device

      Actual results:

      boot of the VM fails with "No bootable device"

      Expected results:

      VM should be able to boot off the restored pvc
