<h3 align="center">Restore Errors and Warnings<a id="creds"></a></h3>

Restore errors and warnings are shown in the `veleror describe` output in three groups:
1. Velero: Warnings or errors that relate to the overall restore workflow but not to a particular resource will be shown here.
2. Cluster: Warnings or errors that relate to particular cluster-scoped resources will be shown here
3. Namespaces: Warnings or errors that relate to particular namespaced resources will be shown here, grouped by namespace

One or more errors in any of the above categories will cause a Restore to be `PartiallyFailed` rather than `Completed`. Warnings will not cause a change to the completion status.

Note that if there are "Velero" errors (but no resource-specific errors), it is possible that the restore completed without any actual problems with restoring workloads, but careful validation of post-restore applications is advisable.
For example, if there are PodVolumeRestore and/or Node Agent-related errors, check the status of PodVolumeBackups and DataDownloads -- if none of these are failed or still running, then volume data may have been fully restored.
