Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on backing up Windows Server system state to Azure using the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) Agent, a Windows-only tool. All instructions, screenshots, and examples are tailored for Windows environments, with no mention of Linux equivalents, Linux system state backup, or cross-platform alternatives. The documentation assumes the user is operating on Windows and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add a section or a separate article for backing up Linux system state or equivalent data to Azure, using supported tools (e.g., Azure Backup for Linux, Azure CLI, or third-party solutions).
- Include cross-platform backup strategies and mention Linux support (if available) early in the documentation, not just Windows.
- If system state backup is not supported for Linux, explicitly state this limitation and provide guidance on alternative backup approaches for Linux systems.
- Provide links to Linux backup documentation and tools where relevant.
- Ensure that future documentation covers both Windows and Linux scenarios, or clearly scopes the content as Windows-only in the title and introduction.
