Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, tools, and examples assume the use of Windows servers, Windows command-line tools (CMD), Windows registry, and Windows-specific services (VSS Writer, DCOM, etc). There are no references to Linux equivalents, nor any guidance for SharePoint deployments on Linux (which, while rare, are possible in containerized scenarios or with SQL Server on Linux). The documentation also exclusively uses Windows paths, environment variables, and administrative patterns, and does not mention PowerShell alternatives, but relies on Windows CMD and GUI steps.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that MABS and SharePoint backup are only supported on Windows, if that is the case, and clarify platform limitations.
  • If Linux support is possible (e.g., for SQL Server or file shares), provide equivalent instructions, tools, and examples for Linux environments.
  • Where possible, mention cross-platform alternatives or note the lack of Linux support for specific features.
  • Add a table or section comparing Windows and Linux support for MABS and SharePoint backup scenarios.
  • If PowerShell is used, provide CLI examples for both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux (Bash), or clarify that only Windows is supported.
  • Review and update documentation to avoid assuming Windows as the default platform unless it is a strict requirement.
