Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on the MARS agent, which is a Windows-only backup solution. All operational examples, screenshots, and automation references are centered around Windows tools (MARS console, PowerShell cmdlets, Set-OBMachineSetting, etc.). There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives mentioned, and the workflow assumes a Windows environment throughout. PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence than Azure CLI, and the documentation does not clarify platform limitations up front.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state at the beginning that MARS agent is Windows-only and provide links to Azure Backup solutions for Linux (e.g., Azure Backup for Azure VM Linux, Azure Backup Server, or Recovery Services agent alternatives).
  • Add a comparison table or section that lists backup solutions for Linux and how passphrase/key management is handled for those platforms.
  • Where possible, clarify which steps, tools, or commands are Windows-specific, and suggest Linux alternatives (e.g., using Azure CLI, REST API, or other cross-platform tools for Key Vault operations).
  • If automation is discussed, mention scripting options for Linux (Bash, Python, etc.) for interacting with Azure Key Vault, even if MARS is not supported.
  • Ensure that readers on Linux are guided to appropriate documentation so they do not attempt to use unsupported Windows-only tooling.
