Summary
The documentation for Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) exhibits a strong Windows bias. Features and support are consistently described in terms of Windows Server versions, Windows-specific technologies (ReFS, Hyper-V, PowerShell, registry keys), and Windows-centric workloads (SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint). There are no examples, instructions, or references for Linux environments, Linux-based VMs, or Linux backup scenarios. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., registry keys, PowerShell cmdlets, right-click context menus) are mentioned exclusively, with no Linux equivalents or parity.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit support statements and examples for Linux-based VMs and workloads, if supported.
  • Include Linux-centric backup scenarios, such as item-level recovery for Linux VMs, and instructions for Linux file systems.
  • Provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., bash scripts, CLI commands) alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Mention Linux tools and configuration patterns (e.g., config files, systemd services) where applicable.
  • Clarify any limitations or lack of support for Linux environments, and link to relevant cross-platform backup solutions if MABS is Windows-only.
  • Ensure parity in documentation structure: for every Windows feature or example, provide the Linux equivalent or state its absence.
