+The `DataProtectionApplication` custom resource (CR) requires a default `Secret`. Otherwise, the installation fails. If the name of the backup location `Secret` is not specified, the default name is used.
 
 If you do not want to use the backup location credentials during the installation, you can create a `Secret` with the default name by using an empty `credentials-velero` file.

+If you experience Azure storage account throttling issues with HTTP 429 `TooManyRequests` errors in the Velero logs, you can add the `storageAccountURI` field to the backup storage location configuration. By providing the storage account blob endpoint directly, Velero bypasses the need to fetch the storage account properties. This also eliminates the need for Reader permission on the storage account.
