Summary
The documentation for the MARS agent is exclusively focused on Windows environments. All examples, supported operating systems, installation instructions, and tooling references pertain only to Windows (including Windows Server, Windows desktop editions, and Windows-specific management tools like PowerShell, MMC, and DISM.exe). There is no mention of Linux support, Linux equivalents, or cross-platform scenarios. The documentation assumes a Windows-first (and only) audience, with no parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state in the introduction and support matrix whether Linux is supported or not, and if not, suggest alternative Azure Backup solutions for Linux workloads.
- If Linux support is planned or available via other agents or extensions, provide links and guidance for Linux users.
- Include a comparison table or section that clarifies backup options for both Windows and Linux environments, including supported agents and features.
- Avoid exclusive references to Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, MMC, registry edits) without noting their lack of applicability to Linux.
- If possible, provide parity in examples, troubleshooting, and backup/restore scenarios for Linux systems, or direct users to Linux-specific documentation.
