Summary
The documentation page for Azure Backup Server V3 RTM is heavily Windows-centric. The protection matrix almost exclusively lists Windows operating systems, Windows-based workloads (SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, Hyper-V), and Windows file systems (NTFS, ReFS). Linux is mentioned only briefly as a guest VM, with limited support (entire VM backup only, file-consistent snapshots), and there are no Linux-specific examples, tools, or recovery scenarios. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., VSS, NTFS, Windows Management Framework) are referenced throughout, with no Linux equivalents or parity.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux workload support details, including supported distributions, file systems, and backup/recovery scenarios.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for backup and recovery, including item-level recovery if supported.
- Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., LVM snapshots, ext4/xfs file systems) where applicable.
- Clarify limitations for Linux and provide guidance or alternatives for Linux users.
- Ensure Linux is represented in the protection matrix with equal detail as Windows workloads.
- If Azure Backup Server does not support Linux workloads beyond VM-level backup, state this clearly and suggest alternative Azure backup solutions for Linux.
