    Description

      Validation Steps

      Set env TZ like so to desired timezone.

      apiVersion: oadp.openshift.io/v1alpha1
      kind: DataProtectionApplication
      metadata:
        name: dpa-sample
        namespace: openshift-adp
      spec:
        configuration:
          velero:
            podConfig:
              env:
                - name: TZ
                  value: America/New_York
      

      Notice in velero pod logs that timestamps now include offsets from UTC seen here `-04:00`

      time="2023-03-14T10:57:24-04:00" level=info msg="Starting Velero server v1.9.5-OADP (-)" logSource="/remote-source/velero/app/pkg/cmd/server/server.go:183"
      

      Create a schedule
      Notice in velero pod logs that backup generated name has the exact same hour/minute numbers
      Seen below 2023-03-14T11:00:04 matches up with 20230314110004

      time="2023-03-14T11:00:04-04:00" level=info msg="No Schedule.template.metadata.labels set - using Schedule.labels for backup object" backup=openshift-adp/schedule-20230314110004 labels="map[]"
      

      Description of problem:

      In this case: TimeZone

      Customer Issue is here: Please read! https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/#/case/03405780

      We could ensure the oadp-controller also has the TZ config or we could better handle any env config available to velero container running in docker.

      I wonder if we could append it to the velero container here: https://github.com/openshift/oadp-operator/blob/master/controllers/velero.go#L486 (edited) 
       

      maybe could do something like add the value to the OADP api in the velero config (what Dylan pointed out). Write a func to check whether or not that value is set. If so, append that env var with the value in DPA to the velero container
       
      Notes from Dylan:
      https://github.com/openshift/oadp-operator/blob/master/api/v1alpha1/oadp_types.go#L66
       
       
      basically just add it here
       

      Which version we'll fix this in is TBD.
