Summary
The documentation for Azure Backup Server v4 is heavily Windows-centric. Windows workloads, versions, and tools are listed first and in detail, with Linux support relegated to a single, limited section. Examples, technical notes, and recovery options are almost exclusively for Windows environments, with Linux only supported as a guest VM and lacking parity in features (e.g., item-level recovery). Windows-specific tools and patterns such as NTFS, VSS, Visual C++ dependencies, and domain/workgroup authentication are referenced throughout, with no Linux equivalents or guidance. Powershell and Windows Management Framework are mentioned, but no Linux command-line or automation examples are provided.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific backup and recovery examples, including command-line instructions (e.g., using shell scripts or native Linux tools).
  • Clarify Linux support for item-level recovery and document any limitations or workarounds.
  • List Linux workloads and supported distributions in the main protection matrix, not only as guest VMs.
  • Include Linux filesystem support details (e.g., ext4, xfs) and note any restrictions.
  • Offer guidance for authentication and protection in Linux domains/workgroups, including certificate management.
  • Mention Linux equivalents for Windows tools (e.g., alternatives to VSS, NTFS) or explain why they are not supported.
  • Balance the order of presentation so Linux is not always last or in a separate section.
