Result: The rancher-operator scales down the rancher deployment during restore, and scales it back up once the restore completes. The resources are restored in this order:

1. Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs)
2. Cluster-scoped resources

``` kubectl logs -n cattle-resources-system -l app.kubernetes.io/name=rancher-backup -f

If you created the restore resource with kubectl, remove the resource to prevent a naming conflict with future restores.
