Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. PowerShell is presented as the primary automation method, with extensive PowerShell script and command examples. Windows-specific tools (MARS, MABS, DPM, ARMClient via Chocolatey) are referenced throughout, and instructions for these tools are given in detail. The CLI section is brief and limited in scope, with explicit mention that Azure Backup CLI only supports VM backups. There are no Bash, Linux, or macOS-specific examples or parity for automation, and ARMClient installation instructions use Chocolatey (Windows-only). The portal instructions are platform-neutral, but all automation and advanced scenarios assume Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS users where PowerShell is used.
  • Document ARMClient installation and usage for Linux/macOS (e.g., via npm or direct download).
  • Expand Azure CLI coverage to support more backup item types and provide parity with PowerShell examples.
  • Clarify which steps/tools are Windows-only and offer alternatives for Linux/macOS where possible.
  • Include explicit Linux/macOS instructions for automation and scripting, such as using Azure CLI or REST API.
  • Mention cross-platform PowerShell (pwsh) and how to use it on Linux/macOS, if PowerShell is required.
