Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All supported platforms listed are Windows SKUs, and the process centers around the MARS Agent, which is only available for Windows. All examples, prerequisites, and troubleshooting steps use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Control Panel, PsExec, registry editing, etc.), with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. There are no instructions or examples for Linux systems, nor any indication that Linux is supported for this workflow.
Recommendations
- Clearly state in the prerequisites and support matrix whether Linux is supported or not. If not, explain why and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
- If Linux support is possible, provide equivalent instructions for Linux environments, including supported distributions, installation steps, and commands (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI).
- Offer examples using Azure CLI or REST API where possible, as these are cross-platform tools.
- Avoid assuming the use of Windows-specific tools (e.g., Control Panel, PsExec, registry editing) and provide platform-agnostic alternatives or note their limitations.
- Include troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux environments if supported.
- Consider documenting alternative backup workflows for Linux servers, such as using Azure Backup for Linux or other supported agents.
