Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias: all examples and supported workloads are Windows-centric, with extensive detail on Windows versions, features, and tools (e.g., NTFS, VSS, Hyper-V, Windows Management Framework). Linux support is mentioned only briefly and as a guest VM, with no details on Linux-specific backup scenarios, filesystems, or recovery options. There are no Linux command or tool references, and Windows tools and patterns (NTFS, VSS, ReFS, system state/bare metal recovery) are discussed exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples and guidance for Linux workloads, including supported filesystems (e.g., ext4, xfs), backup and recovery scenarios, and limitations.
  • Include Linux-specific backup and restore instructions, such as using native Linux tools or Azure Backup Server's integration with Linux.
  • Clarify whether item-level recovery is possible for Linux VMs, and document any differences compared to Windows.
  • List supported Linux distributions and versions directly in the matrix, not just as a link.
  • Discuss Linux-specific requirements, such as agent installation, snapshot mechanisms, and compatibility issues.
  • Balance the documentation by presenting Linux support details alongside Windows, rather than relegating Linux to a single row.
