I have a kubernetes cluster i am migrating from one to another. I want to restore previous cluster data to new one.

When i try to create a normal restore cr and not use datasource , there is a initia backup taken , is there any way to stop it ??

Next thing is that when i see latest restorable time in old cluster i an i use that time in recovery cr or in data source, i get error “timeline issue“, how to solve that ??
