Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All supported platforms listed are Windows SKUs, with no mention of Linux or macOS. All examples, prerequisites, and troubleshooting steps use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Control Panel, PsExec, registry editor, etc.), and the MARS Agent is referenced exclusively in the context of Windows. There are no Linux equivalents or instructions, and Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively and first throughout the guide.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform limitations at the beginning, clarifying if Linux is unsupported or if support is planned.
- If Linux support is possible, provide equivalent instructions for Linux environments, including supported distributions, required packages, and alternative commands (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI).
- Offer Linux-based examples for mounting Data Box devices (e.g., using NFS utilities on Linux).
- Include troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux systems, such as log file locations and certificate management.
- If the MARS Agent is Windows-only, suggest alternative backup solutions for Linux users and link to relevant documentation.
- Avoid assuming Windows as the default environment; structure documentation to address cross-platform needs or clarify scope.
