Summary
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias. PowerShell is heavily featured, with detailed script examples and instructions, while Linux alternatives (such as Bash or cross-platform CLI) are limited or missing. Windows-specific tools (MARS, MABS, DPM, ARMClient via Chocolatey) are referenced without Linux equivalents or installation instructions. The order of presentation prioritizes Windows/PowerShell methods before CLI or ARM/REST approaches, and there is no mention of Linux-native management consoles or guidance for Linux users. The CLI section is brief, limited in scope, and does not provide parity with PowerShell functionality.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash and cross-platform CLI examples for all operations, not just for Azure VM backups.
  • Include instructions for installing and using ARMClient on Linux (e.g., via npm or direct download), not just via Chocolatey.
  • Mention and document Linux-compatible backup agents or clarify if MARS/MABS/DPM are Windows-only, and suggest alternatives for Linux workloads.
  • Reorder sections so that cross-platform methods (CLI, REST API) are presented before or alongside Windows/PowerShell methods.
  • Add explicit notes or guidance for Linux users, including troubleshooting steps and supported tools.
  • Ensure all screenshots and management console instructions are platform-neutral or provide Linux equivalents where possible.
