Summary
This documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, examples, and prerequisites are specific to Windows Server, DPM, and MABS, with no mention of Linux support or equivalents. The use of Windows-specific tools (PSExec, registry edits, Windows certificate manager), reliance on PowerShell modules, and references to Windows file paths and features (NFS client on Windows, mounting drives as X:) reinforce this bias. There are no Linux examples, nor any indication that Linux-based backup servers or agents are supported or can participate in this workflow.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform limitations at the beginning (e.g., 'Windows only'), or add Linux support if available.
- If Linux support exists, provide equivalent instructions for Linux environments, including mounting Data Box via NFS, certificate management, and agent installation.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., using mount, certificate tools, Azure CLI) alongside Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, cron, bash scripts) where appropriate.
- Clarify whether DPM/MABS or MARS agent can run on Linux, and if not, suggest alternative Azure backup solutions for Linux workloads.
- Ensure troubleshooting steps and error messages include Linux scenarios if supported.
