Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-centric tools and patterns, such as the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent, System Center Data Protection Manager (SC-DPM), and Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS), all of which are Windows-only solutions. The discussion of alert exceptions and job status mentions 'portal/PowerShell/the CLI clients', listing PowerShell before CLI, which is more commonly used on Linux. There are no explicit Linux-specific examples, nor are Linux backup agents or workflows mentioned. Notification configuration is stated to be available only via the Azure portal, with no mention of Linux-friendly automation or scripting alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add examples and references for Linux backup agents and workflows, such as Azure VM Linux backup scenarios.
  • Provide CLI (az) and REST API examples for alert management and notification configuration, with clear instructions for Linux users.
  • Mention Linux-compatible backup tools or patterns where appropriate, and avoid listing Windows tools before their cross-platform equivalents.
  • Clarify whether features (such as notification configuration) are equally available to Linux users, and provide parity where possible.
  • Include screenshots or walkthroughs using the Azure CLI on Linux, not just portal or PowerShell.
