Summary
The documentation for backing up the MABS server is heavily Windows-centric. All examples, instructions, and tooling references are specific to Windows environments (e.g., PowerShell, mountvol.exe, diskshadow.exe, psexec.exe, Net Share, Windows Explorer, Windows VSS). There are no Linux equivalents, nor any mention of how to perform these tasks on Linux or cross-platform systems. Windows tools and patterns are presented exclusively and are assumed as the default, with no guidance for administrators using Linux servers or tools.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that MABS is a Windows-only product if true, or clarify platform limitations at the start of the documentation.
- If any components (such as SQL Server backup/restore) can be performed from Linux or cross-platform tools, provide equivalent Linux examples (e.g., using sqlcmd, mounting VHDs on Linux, SMB shares, etc.).
- Where PowerShell or Windows-specific tools are used, mention alternatives for Linux (if possible) or note that these steps require a Windows environment.
- Add a section addressing backup strategies for environments where Linux servers are present, even if only for accessing or copying backup files.
- If Azure Backup or SQL Server supports Linux agents or clients, provide instructions for those platforms.
- Make clear in the prerequisites and overview that all steps assume a Windows Server environment, and suggest workarounds or alternatives for mixed OS environments.
