Summary
The documentation for Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) is heavily Windows-centric. All examples, supported platforms, and operational instructions focus on Windows Server, SQL Server (Windows), and Windows-specific technologies (e.g., registry keys, PowerShell cmdlets, ReFS, Hyper-V). There is no mention of Linux support, Linux-based workloads, or equivalent Linux tools. Windows terminology and tools (registry, PowerShell, Windows authentication) are used exclusively and appear first in all feature tables and descriptions.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state whether Linux workloads are supported or not. If supported, add Linux-specific instructions and examples.
  • Include parity examples for Linux environments, such as backup/restore of Linux VMs, files, and workloads.
  • Mention Linux-compatible backup agents or integration options, if available.
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line instructions (e.g., shell commands) alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Reference Linux file systems and backup scenarios (e.g., ext4, xfs) where applicable.
  • Clarify limitations or roadmap for Linux support in MABS, if Linux is not currently supported.
