Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. All examples, tools, and workflows assume the use of Windows servers (DPM/MABS), Windows-only utilities (AzureOfflineBackupDiskPrep.exe), and prerequisites such as Microsoft Edge/Internet Explorer and BitLocker. Azure PowerShell is referenced as a requirement, but no Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives are mentioned. There are no instructions or examples for performing offline seeding from Linux systems, nor is there any discussion of Linux backup tools or workflows.
Recommendations
- Clarify platform support: Explicitly state whether offline seeding is supported only for Windows-based backup servers (DPM/MABS), or if Linux-based backup solutions can participate.
- Provide Linux parity: If supported, add instructions and examples for performing offline seeding from Linux systems, including any required tools, command-line utilities, or workflows.
- List cross-platform alternatives: If AzureOfflineBackupDiskPrep.exe is Windows-only, mention any Linux-compatible alternatives or provide guidance for Linux users.
- Browser requirements: Replace or supplement references to Microsoft Edge/Internet Explorer with cross-platform browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) and clarify if any browser-specific features are required.
- BitLocker alternatives: If disk encryption is required, mention Linux-compatible solutions (e.g., LUKS) for securing disks prior to shipment.
- PowerShell alternatives: If Azure PowerShell is required, provide equivalent Azure CLI commands and instructions for Linux environments.
- Explicitly mention limitations: If the workflow is not supported on Linux, clearly state this in the prerequisites and overview to avoid confusion.
