Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All troubleshooting steps, examples, and tool references are specific to Windows (MMC console, Internet Explorer, Task Scheduler, Registry Editor, Device Manager, vssadmin, PowerShell). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents, nor any mention of how to perform similar actions on non-Windows systems. The documentation assumes the user is running Windows, and critical troubleshooting steps (such as registry edits, service management, and cache location paths) are not applicable to Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state at the beginning that the MARS agent is Windows-only, if that is the case. If Linux/macOS support is possible, add equivalent troubleshooting steps and examples for those platforms.
  • Where tools like Task Scheduler, Registry Editor, or Internet Explorer are referenced, provide Linux/macOS alternatives or note their absence.
  • For PowerShell commands, indicate if they are Windows-only, and provide Bash or shell equivalents if available.
  • For file paths and service management, include Linux/macOS paths and service commands (e.g., systemctl).
  • If the agent is not supported on Linux/macOS, provide links or references to Azure Backup solutions for those platforms.
