Summary
The documentation for Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent is heavily Windows-centric. All restore options and examples reference Windows-specific features (e.g., Windows Server System State, Windows Server Backup utility), PowerShell automation, and Windows tools like robocopy. There are no mentions of Linux equivalents, nor are Linux restore scenarios or commands provided. The prerequisites and instructions assume a Windows environment throughout.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform support: Clarify whether MARS agent supports Linux, and if not, direct users to equivalent Azure Backup solutions for Linux.
- Provide Linux restore scenarios: If Linux is supported, add examples and instructions for restoring files on Linux systems, including command-line tools and automation scripts.
- Include Linux tools: Where robocopy is recommended, suggest Linux alternatives such as rsync or cp, and provide usage examples.
- Balance PowerShell with Bash: For automation, offer Bash or shell script examples alongside PowerShell.
- Add cross-platform notes: Where features are Windows-only (e.g., System State backup), clearly indicate this and link to Linux documentation for similar functionality.
