Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: backup scenarios and agent descriptions prioritize Windows machines and tools (MARS agent, DPM, MABS), with explicit statements that Linux is not supported for direct backup via MARS. There are no Linux-specific examples or equivalent Linux backup workflows described, and Windows-centric tools and terminology (VSS, MARS agent) are used exclusively or before any mention of Linux. Linux support is only referenced in passing or as unsupported, and Linux backup scenarios are not detailed.
Recommendations
- Add explicit sections or tables describing backup options and workflows for Linux machines, including supported agents, limitations, and alternatives.
- Provide Linux-specific examples and guidance, such as using Azure Backup for Linux VMs, supported file systems, and application-consistent backup strategies.
- Clarify the parity (or lack thereof) between Windows and Linux backup features, and link to Linux documentation where available.
- If certain backup scenarios are not supported for Linux, clearly state alternatives or workarounds, and indicate roadmap or plans for Linux support if applicable.
- Avoid presenting Windows tools and workflows first or exclusively; instead, present both Windows and Linux options side-by-side where possible.
