Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows environments. All instructions, terminology, and referenced features (such as Volume Shadow Copy Service, deduplication, and file/folder selection) are specific to Windows. There are no examples, notes, or guidance for Linux systems, nor is there any mention of Linux-specific backup considerations or tools. The documentation assumes the use of the MABS console, which is a Windows application, and references Windows-only features (e.g., VSS, Data Deduplication, file properties dialog).
Recommendations:
- Add explicit notes clarifying whether MABS supports Linux clients, and if so, provide equivalent instructions or limitations for Linux systems.
- Include Linux-specific examples or workflows, such as how to install the protection agent on Linux, how to select files/folders for backup, and how to perform recovery operations.
- Mention Linux backup/recovery limitations (e.g., lack of VSS, differences in file system support, etc.) where relevant.
- If Linux is not supported, state this clearly at the beginning of the documentation to set expectations.
- Where Windows-specific features are referenced (e.g., Data Deduplication, VSS, file properties), provide Linux alternatives or note their absence.
