Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. Backup methods and tools (MARS agent, DPM, MABS) are described almost exclusively for Windows environments, with explicit statements that Linux is not supported in key scenarios (e.g., MARS agent). Windows-centric technologies (VSS, MARS agent, DPM/MABS) are referenced throughout, and Linux alternatives or parity features are not discussed. Examples and step-by-step instructions focus on Windows, with no equivalent Linux walkthroughs or tooling mentioned. The documentation structure and example order consistently prioritize Windows scenarios over Linux.
Recommendations
- Add explicit sections and examples for Linux backup scenarios, including supported agents, workflows, and limitations.
- Clearly state Linux support status for each backup method and provide links to Linux-specific documentation where available.
- If Linux is not supported for a given method (e.g., MARS agent), suggest alternative Azure-native backup solutions for Linux workloads.
- Include parity tables or comparison charts showing feature availability for both Windows and Linux.
- Provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) alongside PowerShell/Windows examples.
- Reference Linux backup tools and patterns (e.g., Azure Backup for Linux VMs, integration with native Linux backup utilities) where appropriate.
- Ensure that documentation navigation and 'Next steps' include Linux-focused guides and scenarios.
