Summary
The documentation for backing up file data with MABS is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. It references Windows-specific features (such as Data Deduplication, Volume Shadow Copy Service, and SAN hardware snapshots), and all instructions and terminology assume the use of the MABS console, which is a Windows application. There are no examples or guidance for Linux systems, nor are Linux-specific backup scenarios, agents, or recovery workflows mentioned. The documentation does not clarify whether or how Linux clients are supported, and Windows tools and patterns are referenced exclusively and first.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for backing up and recovering file data from Linux machines, including agent installation, supported file systems, and any limitations.
- Provide Linux-specific examples and screenshots where applicable, such as command-line workflows or agent configuration.
- Clarify which features (e.g., deduplication, VSS, SAN snapshots) are Windows-only and suggest Linux alternatives or note their absence.
- Include a section on cross-platform support, listing supported operating systems and any differences in backup/recovery procedures.
- Ensure parity in documentation structure by presenting Linux instructions alongside Windows ones, not only after or as an afterthought.
