Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, screenshots, and procedures assume the use of Azure Backup Server running on Windows. Critical steps such as certificate import, registry modifications for TLS, and backup/restore operations are described exclusively using Windows tools and UI (e.g., Certificate Import Wizard, Windows Registry Editor, right-click context menus). There are no Linux/macOS equivalents, CLI alternatives, or cross-platform guidance. The individual file restore feature is explicitly limited to Windows VMs.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for certificate import (e.g., using openssl, update-ca-certificates, or keytool).
- Offer CLI-based instructions for critical steps (e.g., registry/TLS settings, backup/restore operations) that could be adapted for non-Windows environments.
- Clarify platform requirements for Azure Backup Server and note any limitations for Linux/macOS users up front.
- If Azure Backup Server is Windows-only, suggest alternative backup solutions for Linux/macOS users or reference cross-platform tools.
- Include examples and screenshots for Linux-based VMs and backup/restore scenarios.
- Explicitly state when features (like individual file restore) are Windows-only and provide parity or alternatives for Linux VMs.
