Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All examples, tools, and procedures assume Windows servers and Windows-specific utilities (e.g., ConfigureSharePoint.exe, Registry Editor, CMD commands, NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, Windows file paths, and Windows groups). There is no mention of Linux-based SharePoint deployments, nor are there any examples or instructions for Linux systems, shell commands, or cross-platform alternatives. The documentation presumes the use of Windows Server and Windows administrative patterns throughout.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations at the beginning of the documentation (e.g., 'MABS and SharePoint farm backup are only supported on Windows Server environments').
  • If any components or procedures can be performed on Linux (e.g., Azure Backup Server agent installation, monitoring, or recovery), provide equivalent Linux instructions and examples.
  • Where possible, mention cross-platform alternatives or clarify that certain tools (e.g., ConfigureSharePoint.exe, Registry Editor) are Windows-only.
  • Provide a comparison table or section outlining differences in backup and recovery procedures between Windows and Linux environments, if applicable.
  • Add links or references to documentation for Linux-based backup solutions for SharePoint or Azure workloads, if available.
  • Ensure that monitoring and notification steps include Linux-compatible methods (e.g., using sendmail/postfix for SMTP, Linux event logs, etc.), if supported.
