Summary
The documentation for the MARS agent is exclusively focused on Windows environments. All examples, supported operating systems, installation instructions, and requirements are Windows-specific. There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor are there any examples or guidance for non-Windows platforms. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., registry edits, PowerShell, MMC, NTFS, VSS) are referenced throughout, with no Linux equivalents or alternatives.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that the MARS agent is not supported on Linux/macOS, if that is the case, to avoid confusion.
- If any cross-platform alternatives exist (e.g., Azure Backup for Linux), provide links and guidance for Linux/macOS users.
- Add a comparison table or section outlining backup options for Linux and macOS environments in Azure, including supported agents or methods.
- Where possible, mention Linux backup tools or Azure solutions for Linux workloads, and provide parity documentation.
- Consider adding a FAQ or 'Alternatives for non-Windows systems' section.
