Summary
The documentation for Azure Backup Server (MABS) V4 protection matrix exhibits a strong Windows bias. Windows workloads, versions, and recovery scenarios are described in detail and presented first, with extensive coverage of Windows-specific features (NTFS, VSS, Visual C++ dependencies, etc.). Linux support is relegated to a single table, with minimal detail and only as a guest OS on Windows-based hypervisors. There are no Linux-specific backup/recovery examples, tools, or agent installation instructions. Windows tools and patterns (Volume Shadow Copy Service, NTLM authentication, Control Panel, etc.) are referenced exclusively, and the documentation assumes Windows as the default environment throughout.
Recommendations
  • Add detailed Linux backup and recovery examples, including agent installation and configuration steps for Linux workloads.
  • Provide parity in documentation for Linux file systems (e.g., ext4, xfs) and clarify limitations or supported features compared to NTFS.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting, authentication, and recovery scenarios, not just as VMs on Windows hosts.
  • Reference Linux tools and commands (e.g., systemctl, journalctl) where relevant, and avoid exclusive reliance on Windows tools and terminology.
  • Present Linux and Windows support side-by-side in tables and sections, rather than listing Windows first and Linux last.
  • Clarify whether direct backup of physical Linux servers (not just VMs) is supported, and document any differences in agent capabilities.
