Summary
The documentation for the MARS agent is exclusively focused on Windows environments. All examples, supported operating systems, and instructions refer only to Windows or Windows Server. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell, MMC, registry edits, NTFS, VSS, DISM.exe) are mentioned throughout, with no reference to Linux or other platforms. There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or even a statement clarifying lack of support for Linux. The documentation assumes a Windows-first audience and omits any cross-platform considerations.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that the MARS agent is not supported on Linux or non-Windows platforms, if that is the case.
- If Linux support is planned or available via other Azure Backup agents, provide links or references to those solutions.
- Add a comparison section or FAQ addressing Linux backup scenarios and alternatives for parity.
- Where possible, clarify Windows-specific instructions (e.g., registry edits, PowerShell usage) as not applicable to Linux.
- Consider including a table or note summarizing which Azure Backup agents support Linux and how Linux users should proceed.
