Helpful error message when restoring backup

When I recently attempted to restore a db backup I got a cryptic error message stating "Error: Cluster Not Found"--which was extremely confusing considering that I pressed the restore button in the backup options. After some great tech support, I added my user as project owner and everything worked fine. Please make the error message clearer in both the Restore and Download backup scenarios.

    We experienced a similar problem when attempting to restore a backup from a cluster on another region to a cluster in the GCP "us-east4" region. All we received as 'restore failed', which is entirely unhelpful. Worse yet, that message disappeared after a day or so.
