Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. Backup scenarios and tooling for on-premises environments focus exclusively on Windows machines and Microsoft technologies (MARS agent, DPM, MABS), with explicit statements that Linux machines aren't supported for direct backup. There are no Linux or macOS equivalents or examples for on-premises backup, and Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first and exclusively in critical sections.
Recommendations
- Clearly state Linux limitations and provide alternative solutions or workarounds for Linux on-premises backup (e.g., suggest third-party tools, Azure File Sync, or other supported Azure-native methods).
- Add a comparison table or section outlining backup options for Linux, macOS, and Windows, including supported scenarios and gaps.
- If possible, mention any roadmap or plans for Linux support, or link to relevant feedback channels.
- Ensure that future updates include Linux/macOS parity where feasible, and provide examples or references for those platforms.
- In 'Next steps', add links or notes for Linux backup scenarios (even if only for Azure VMs) to clarify support boundaries.
