Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It focuses heavily on Windows-specific backup agents (MARS, DPM, MABS), with direct backup support only for Windows machines. Linux is mentioned only to note lack of support in some scenarios, and there are no Linux-specific examples, tools, or workflows described. Windows tools and patterns (VSS, MARS agent, DPM/MABS) are discussed in detail, while Linux backup options are not addressed. The structure and order of information consistently present Windows solutions first and in more depth.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Linux backup scenarios, including supported agents, workflows, and limitations.
- Provide Linux-specific examples and references (e.g., using Azure Backup for Linux VMs, integration with native Linux backup tools, or third-party solutions).
- Clarify parity or gaps between Windows and Linux support in tables and feature lists.
- Include Linux-focused architecture diagrams and process flows where applicable.
- If direct backup for Linux is not supported, offer guidance or alternatives for Linux users (e.g., using Azure VM backup extension, scripts, or partner tools).
