Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) Agent, which is a Windows-only tool. All instructions, screenshots, and examples reference Windows interfaces, tools, and file paths (e.g., %ProgramFiles%), with no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents, nor any cross-platform alternatives. There are no Linux commands, screenshots, or guidance for non-Windows users, and Windows terminology is used throughout. This creates a significant barrier for Linux/macOS administrators seeking parity.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that MARS Agent is Windows-only at the beginning of the documentation.
  • Provide links or references to equivalent Azure Backup solutions for Linux/macOS (such as Azure Backup for Linux VMs, Azure CLI, or REST API usage).
  • Add a comparison table showing supported features and management options for Windows (MARS) vs. Linux/macOS.
  • Where possible, include cross-platform instructions or alternatives for backup, monitoring, and reporting tasks.
  • Clarify which sections are not applicable to Linux/macOS and direct users to relevant documentation.
