      Description of problem:

      while trying to run schedule backup every 10 minutes using crontab format "*/10 * * * *" - add schedule failed 

      valid crontab format - */10 * * * *

      Tried 2 formats:
      1) spec:
        schedule: */10 * * * * - "error: error parsing backup-scheduler-60pods.yaml: error converting YAML to JSON: yaml: line 9: did not find expected alphabetic or numeric character"
      2) spec:
        schedule: */10 * * * * -
      status:
        phase: FailedValidation
        validationErrors:
        - 'invalid schedule: Failed to parse int from *: strconv.Atoi: parsing "
      *": invalid
          syntax'

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

      OCP 4.10.26

      OADP 1.1.0-74

      How reproducible:

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Create schedule backup yaml
      2. oc apply -f {schedule.yaml} 
      3. oc get schedule -A

      Actual results:

      add schedule failed

      Expected results:

        namespace: openshift-adp
        labels:
          velero.io/storage-location: example-velero-1
      spec:
        schedule: */10 * * * *
      OR
        schedule: */10 * * * *
        template:

      Create a test to verify the right format: (print date every 5 minutes)
      1) 

      [root@f01-h14-000-r640 ~]# cat test.sh 
      #!/bin/bash

      date >> test-time.log

      2) [root@f01-h14-000-r640 oadp-helpers]# crontab -l
      */5 * * * * /root/test.sh

      3) [root@f01-h14-000-r640 ~]# head test-time.log
