Alay: Provide more visibility on reasons for PartialFailure by reporting the errors on velero CR
The CRs don’t provide errors directly, just he number
CRs are limited to 1.5mb usually due to etcd
There’s a mismatch between restore & backup log formats, making just parsing difficult
This could be a subresource backed by a web hook, not a CRD
