Cluster and storage parameters can easily be modified as part of the process.

For users of Velero, CloudCasa also includes the ability to centrally catalog, monitor and manage existing Velero backups across multiple clusters. You can even use a recovery point created with Velero from any on-premises or cloud environment to perform full-stack AKS recoveries in your Azure region or tenant of choice.
