Summary
The documentation for backing up VMware VMs using Azure Backup Server (MABS) is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. All examples, configuration steps, and scripts assume the use of Windows tools (Registry Editor, Certificate Import Wizard, PowerShell, .reg files), with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. There are no Linux-specific instructions or examples, and all automation and scripting guidance is provided in PowerShell, which is native to Windows. The documentation also references Windows-specific paths and GUI dialogs, reinforcing the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific instructions for certificate import, such as using openssl and update-ca-certificates.
- Include examples using Bash or Python scripts for automation, in addition to PowerShell.
- Document how to configure MABS or interact with VMware from Linux-based management hosts, if supported.
- Clarify whether MABS can be installed or managed from Linux, and if not, explicitly state the Windows-only requirement.
- Where registry edits are required, suggest Linux equivalents (e.g., config files) or note that these steps are not applicable on Linux.
- Add a section comparing Windows and Linux management workflows for VMware backup, highlighting any differences or limitations.
