Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on restoring System State for Windows Server, using Windows-specific tools such as the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent, Windows Server Backup snap-in, and wbadmin command-line utility. All instructions, screenshots, and examples are tailored to Windows environments, with no mention of Linux equivalents, cross-platform tools, or parity for Linux-based servers. The documentation assumes the reader is operating within a Windows ecosystem and does not provide guidance for Linux system state recovery or backup restoration.
Recommendations
- Add a section or a separate article for restoring system state or equivalent on Linux servers, including supported backup agents and recovery workflows.
- Include Linux-specific examples, such as using Azure Backup for Linux VMs, and reference Linux tools (e.g., rsync, tar, Timeshift, or Azure CLI commands for Linux VM restore).
- Clarify early in the documentation that the instructions are Windows-specific, and provide links to Linux documentation for similar scenarios.
- Where possible, mention cross-platform Azure backup and restore capabilities, and provide parity in troubleshooting steps for Linux environments.
- Ensure that future documentation for backup and restore covers both Windows and Linux platforms, or clearly distinguishes platform-specific instructions.
