Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All supported platforms listed are Windows SKUs, with no mention of Linux or macOS. All examples and instructions use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Control Panel, PsExec, Windows command prompt), and there are no Linux equivalents or alternatives provided. The MARS Agent and backup workflow are described exclusively for Windows, and troubleshooting steps rely on Windows-only features (registry, certificate manager).
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux and macOS are unsupported, or provide instructions for those platforms if support exists.
- If possible, add Linux-compatible backup agent instructions or clarify the absence of such support.
- Provide parity in examples: include Linux shell commands and tools (e.g., Bash, CLI, NFS mounting on Linux) where applicable.
- Mention Linux alternatives for PowerShell commands (e.g., Azure CLI) and provide step-by-step instructions for Linux environments.
- If the MARS Agent is Windows-only, suggest or link to alternative backup solutions for Linux users in Azure.
