Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically System Center DPM and Microsoft Exchange, both of which are Windows-only products. All instructions, examples, and screenshots reference Windows tools, paths (e.g., C:\Program Files), and GUI workflows. There are no Linux equivalents or alternative instructions for non-Windows platforms. PowerShell is referenced in related content, with no mention of Bash or Linux command-line tools.
Recommendations
- Clarify early in the documentation that DPM and Exchange are Windows-only, and explicitly state platform limitations.
- If possible, provide guidance or links for backing up Exchange on Linux (if supported in future versions) or for backing up other workloads on Linux using Azure Backup.
- Include parity documentation for Azure Backup scenarios on Linux servers, using Linux-native tools and command-line examples.
- Reference cross-platform automation options (e.g., REST API, Azure CLI) alongside PowerShell.
- Add a section comparing Windows and Linux backup workflows, even if only to state that DPM is not available for Linux, and suggest alternatives.
