Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All VM creation and management instructions reference Windows Server, with no mention of Linux alternatives. Disk attachment and management examples are exclusively for Windows VMs. The installation steps, prerequisites, and backup/restore scenarios are tailored to Windows environments, including references to Windows-specific tools (e.g., ReFS, VSS, Windows Update, PowerShell for SSRS configuration). There are no Linux-specific examples, instructions, or parity in tooling or process, despite brief mentions that Linux VMs are supported for application-consistent backups via scripts.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions and examples for deploying Azure Backup Server on Linux-based VMs, if supported.
- Provide parity in disk attachment and management documentation for Linux VMs (e.g., using Azure CLI or portal for Linux, mounting disks, file system recommendations).
- Include Linux-specific backup/restore scenarios, including how to achieve application-consistent backups (with sample pre/post scripts).
- Reference Linux equivalents for tools and processes (e.g., ext4/xfs file systems, cron jobs for updates, Linux authentication and domain join instructions if applicable).
- If Azure Backup Server is Windows-only, clarify this limitation early in the documentation and provide guidance for Linux VM backup alternatives.
