Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All supported platforms listed are Windows SKUs, with no mention of Linux or macOS support. All examples and instructions use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, MARS Agent, Control Panel, PsExec, registry editor), and there are no Linux equivalents or alternatives provided. The prerequisite and troubleshooting steps rely exclusively on Windows and PowerShell commands, further excluding Linux users.
Recommendations
- Clearly state platform limitations at the beginning, including whether Linux is unsupported or provide guidance for Linux users.
- If Linux support is possible, add equivalent instructions for Linux environments, including how to interact with Azure Data Box and perform offline backup seeding.
- Provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) alongside PowerShell instructions where feasible.
- Mention Linux tools for mounting NFS shares and handling certificates, such as mount, openssl, and relevant Azure CLI commands.
- If the MARS Agent is Windows-only, suggest alternative backup solutions for Linux and link to relevant documentation.
- Ensure troubleshooting steps include Linux scenarios or explicitly state their applicability.
