Summary
The documentation page for Azure Backup Server (MABS) V4 protection matrix demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Windows workloads, tools, and patterns are described in detail and presented first, with Linux support relegated to a single, limited section. Examples, supported features, and recovery options are almost exclusively for Windows environments, with Linux coverage limited to VM-level backup and lacking parity in features and examples. Windows-specific tools and requirements (e.g., NTFS, VSS, Visual C++ redistributables, Windows Management Framework) are mentioned throughout, while Linux equivalents are absent.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific backup and recovery examples, including file-level and application-level scenarios where possible.
  • List Linux workloads alongside Windows workloads in the main protection matrix, not as a separate, minimal section.
  • Clarify which features (e.g., item-level recovery, deduplication, system state backup) are available or not for Linux, and explain any limitations.
  • Mention Linux file systems (e.g., ext4, xfs) and backup consistency mechanisms (e.g., fsfreeze, LVM snapshots) where relevant, not only NTFS/VSS.
  • Include guidance for Linux agent installation, configuration, and troubleshooting, similar to the detail provided for Windows.
  • Reference Linux-specific tools or commands where Windows tools (e.g., Control Panel, VSS, Visual C++) are mentioned.
  • Ensure parity in documentation structure, so Linux administrators can easily find relevant information without feeling like an afterthought.
