Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, examples, and prerequisites are specific to Windows OS versions and Windows Server SKUs. The use of Windows PowerShell, Windows-specific tools (Control Panel, PsExec, registry editing), and references to Windows-only applications (MARS Agent, Microsoft Azure Backup application) exclude Linux and macOS users. No Linux or macOS equivalents, alternatives, or guidance are provided.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state Windows-only support in the introduction and support matrix.
- If possible, provide parity for Linux/macOS by documenting any supported workflows, agents, or tools for those platforms.
- If Data Box/MARS Agent is not supported on Linux/macOS, suggest alternative Azure backup solutions for those platforms.
- Add a section clarifying platform limitations and linking to cross-platform backup options.
- Where PowerShell is required, note if Azure CLI or REST API alternatives exist for Linux/macOS users.
