Summary
The documentation for troubleshooting the Azure Backup (MARS) agent is heavily Windows-centric. All examples, tools, and troubleshooting steps reference Windows-specific components (MMC console, Task Scheduler, Registry, Internet Explorer, Device Manager, vssadmin, etc.), and PowerShell commands. There is no mention of Linux equivalents, nor any guidance for non-Windows platforms. The documentation assumes the user is operating in a Windows environment throughout.
Recommendations
- Add a clear statement at the top specifying platform support (e.g., if MARS agent is Windows-only, clarify this).
- If Linux or cross-platform backup agents exist, link to their troubleshooting documentation.
- Where possible, provide Linux equivalents for troubleshooting steps (e.g., checking network connectivity, proxy settings, disk space, antivirus exclusions).
- Include examples using Linux tools (such as systemctl, journalctl, cron, bash commands) where relevant.
- Mention browser-agnostic steps for credential downloads, rather than focusing on Internet Explorer.
- If PowerShell is required, note alternatives for Linux (such as Azure CLI or Bash scripts).
- Clarify which troubleshooting steps are not applicable to Linux, and provide guidance for Linux users.
