Summary
The documentation page for Azure Backup Server V3 RTM is heavily Windows-centric. All examples, supported workloads, and technical details focus on Windows operating systems, Windows-based applications (SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint), and Windows-specific technologies (NTFS, VSS, Hyper-V, ReFS). Linux is mentioned only as a guest VM, with limited support (entire VM backup only, file-consistent snapshots), and there are no examples or details for Linux workloads, filesystems, or recovery scenarios. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., VSS, NTFS, Windows Management Framework) are referenced exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit documentation for Linux workloads, including supported distributions, filesystems, and backup/recovery scenarios.
  • Provide parity for item-level recovery on Linux VMs, or clearly state limitations and possible workarounds.
  • Include Linux-first or Linux-specific examples in the protection matrix, not just as an afterthought.
  • Document any Linux-specific requirements, limitations, and best practices for Azure Backup Server.
  • Reference Linux tools and backup patterns where applicable, and clarify differences in snapshot and recovery mechanisms.
