Backup object shows backups as Running even if they are waiting

The only thing which is a bit misleading for me here is that now multiple backups can be in status “Starting”, maybe it would be better to name it “Waiting” since I don’t think it is doing anything but just waiting, but anyway it is much better than before.
$ k get ps-backup -w

Currently if you create two or more backup objects they will all get status Running at some point, but actually one will be Running and other will be waiting for the first one to finish which is misleading from the user perspective.
In PSMDB this is handled by pbm-agent, and in PXC we maybe have the same issue or it is somehow different (need to investigate).
So backup object has this:
But the script in the second backup actually mentions waiting:
