Usage of /usr/bin/velero-plugin-for-microsoft-azure:
      --backup-repository-configmap string                  The name of ConfigMap containing backup repository configurations.
      --backup-sync-period duration                         How often to ensure all Velero backups in object storage exist as Backup API objects in the cluster. This is the default sync period if none is explicitly specified for a backup storage location. (default 1m0s)
      --client-burst int                                    Maximum number of requests by the server to the Kubernetes API in a short period of time. (default 100)
      --client-page-size int                                Page size of requests by the server to the Kubernetes API when listing objects during a backup. Set to 0 to disable paging. (default 500)
      --client-qps float32                                  Maximum number of requests per second by the server to the Kubernetes API once the burst limit has been reached. (default 100)
      --concurrent-backups int                              Number of backups to process concurrently. Default is one. Optional. (default 1)
      --default-backup-storage-location string              Name of the default backup storage location. DEPRECATED: this flag will be removed in v2.0. Use "velero backup-location set --default" instead. (default "default")
      --default-backup-ttl duration                         How long to wait by default before backups can be garbage collected. (default 720h0m0s)
      --default-item-operation-timeout duration             How long to wait on asynchronous BackupItemActions and RestoreItemActions to complete before timing out. Default is 4 hours (default 4h0m0s)
      --default-repo-maintain-frequency duration            How often 'maintain' is run for backup repositories by default.
      --default-snapshot-move-data                          Move data by default for all snapshots supporting data movement.
      --default-volume-snapshot-locations mapStringString   List of unique volume providers and default volume snapshot location (provider1:location-01,provider2:location-02,...)
      --default-volumes-to-fs-backup                        Backup all volumes with pod volume file system backup by default.
      --disable-controllers strings                         List of controllers to disable on startup. Valid values are backup-queue,backup,backup-operations,backup-deletion,backup-finalizer,backup-sync,download-request,gc,backup-repo,restore,restore-operations,schedule,server-status-request,restore-finalizer
      --disable-informer-cache                              Disable informer cache for Get calls on restore. With this enabled, it will speed up restore in cases where there are backup resources which already exist in the cluster, but for very large clusters this will increase velero memory usage. Default is false (don't disable).
      --fs-backup-timeout duration                          How long pod volume file system backups/restores should be allowed to run before timing out. (default 4h0m0s)
      --garbage-collection-frequency duration               How often garbage collection is run for expired backups.
      --item-block-worker-count int                         Number of worker threads to process ItemBlocks. Default is one. Optional. (default 1)
      --item-operation-sync-frequency duration              How often to check status on backup/restore operations after backup/restore processing. Default is 10 seconds
      --log-format                                          The format for log output. Valid values are text, json. (default text)

      --max-concurrent-k8s-connections int                  Max concurrent connections number that Velero can create with kube-apiserver. Default is 30. (default 30)
      --metrics-address string                              The address to expose prometheus metrics (default ":8085")
      --plugin-dir string                                   Directory containing Velero plugins (default "/plugins")
      --profiler-address string                             The address to expose the pprof profiler. (default "localhost:6060")
      --repo-maintenance-job-configmap string               The name of ConfigMap containing repository maintenance Job configurations.

      --restore-only                                        Run in a mode where only restores are allowed; backups, schedules, and garbage-collection are all disabled. DEPRECATED: this flag will be removed in v2.0. Use read-only backup storage locations instead.
      --restore-resource-priorities stringArray             Desired order of resource restores, the priority list contains two parts which are split by "-" element. The resources before "-" element are restored first as high priorities, the resources after "-" element are restored last as low priorities, and any resource not in the list will be restored alphabetically between the high and low priorities. (default customresourcedefinitions,namespaces,storageclasses,volumesnapshotclass.snapshot.storage.k8s.io,volumesnapshotcontents.snapshot.storage.k8s.io,volumesnapshots.snapshot.storage.k8s.io,datauploads.velero.io,persistentvolumes,persistentvolumeclaims,clusterroles,roles,serviceaccounts,clusterrolebindings,rolebindings,secrets,configmaps,limitranges,priorityclasses,pods,replicasets.apps,clusterclasses.cluster.x-k8s.io,endpoints,services,-,clusterbootstraps.run.tanzu.vmware.com,clusters.cluster.x-k8s.io,clusterresourcesets.addons.cluster.x-k8s.io,apps.kappctrl.k14s.io,packageinstalls.packaging.carvel.dev)

      --terminating-resource-timeout duration               How long to wait on persistent volumes and namespaces to terminate during a restore before timing out. (default 10m0s)
      --uploader-type string                                Type of uploader to handle the transfer of data of pod volumes (default "kopia")
      --volume-group-snapshot-label-key string              Label key for grouping PVCs into VolumeGroupSnapshot. Default value is 'velero.io/volume-group' (default "velero.io/volume-group")
