Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. All examples and instructions assume the use of Windows tools (Registry Editor, Certificate Import Wizard, right-click context menus, Notepad, etc.), and there is no mention of Linux equivalents or alternative procedures for Linux-based Azure Backup Server installations. The registry modification and certificate import steps are Windows-specific, and individual file recovery is only supported for Windows VMs. No Linux command-line or GUI alternatives are provided, and the documentation does not acknowledge or guide users who may be running Azure Backup Server on Linux or managing Linux VMs.
Recommendations:
  • Add instructions and examples for Linux environments, including certificate import steps using Linux tools (e.g., openssl, update-ca-certificates).
  • Clarify whether Azure Backup Server can be installed and used on Linux, and if not, explicitly state the Windows-only support.
  • Provide guidance for backing up and restoring Linux VMs, including any limitations or differences compared to Windows VMs.
  • Include alternative procedures for registry modifications or configuration changes for Linux, if applicable.
  • Ensure that individual file recovery instructions address Linux VMs, or clearly state the limitation and suggest alternative approaches for Linux workloads.
