Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, examples, and prerequisites are specific to Windows Server (2016/2019) and Windows-based backup solutions (DPM, MABS). The use of Windows-specific tools (PSExec, regedit, Windows registry paths), reliance on Windows features (Client for NFS), and PowerShell modules are pervasive. There are no examples, instructions, or mentions of Linux or cross-platform alternatives, and the supported platforms section lists only Windows Server versions.
Recommendations
- Add explicit statements about Linux support or lack thereof for DPM/MABS and Azure Data Box workflows.
- If Linux support is possible, provide equivalent instructions for Linux servers, including mounting Data Box via NFS, certificate management, and Azure CLI usage.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and examples, such as using OpenSSL for certificate management, Linux mount commands, and relevant Azure CLI commands.
- Mention cross-platform alternatives to Windows-only tools (e.g., alternatives to PSExec, regedit) where possible.
- Clarify in the prerequisites and supported platforms section whether Linux is unsupported or provide parity guidance for Linux users.
