Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, with all troubleshooting steps, examples, and tool references tailored exclusively for Windows environments. There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform guidance. Windows tools (MMC console, Task Scheduler, Internet Explorer, Device Manager, Registry Editor, vssadmin, PowerShell) are referenced throughout, and all examples (including PowerShell commands and file paths) assume a Windows OS. No mention is made of Linux support, troubleshooting, or alternative commands/tools.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state OS support at the beginning of the document. If MARS agent is Windows-only, make this explicit.
  • If Linux support exists, add equivalent troubleshooting steps, commands, and tool references for Linux environments.
  • Provide parity in examples: for every Windows example (e.g., PowerShell, MMC, Task Scheduler), include a Linux alternative (e.g., Bash scripts, cron jobs, systemd, relevant Linux tools).
  • Reference cross-platform browsers and network troubleshooting methods, not just Internet Explorer.
  • Avoid hardcoding Windows paths and registry keys; provide Linux equivalents or clarify OS-specific instructions.
  • Include troubleshooting steps for Linux-specific issues (permissions, SELinux, system logs, etc.) if applicable.
  • If the agent is Windows-only, consider linking to Linux backup solutions or alternatives for Azure.
