Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, prerequisites, and tooling (such as the MARS agent, AzureOfflineBackupDiskPrep utility, and Azure PowerShell) are Windows-specific. There are no examples or guidance for Linux systems, and the workflow assumes the use of Windows-only tools and patterns (e.g., elevated command prompt, Windows file paths, Internet Explorer/Edge). Linux users are not addressed, and there is no mention of cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state early in the documentation that the workflow is only supported on Windows, if that is the case. If Linux is not supported, clarify this to set user expectations.
  • If Linux support is possible, provide equivalent instructions, tooling, and examples for Linux environments (e.g., bash commands, Linux-compatible utilities, and browser requirements).
  • Mention any cross-platform or Linux-compatible Azure backup agents or workflows, if available.
  • Where PowerShell or Windows-specific tools are required, suggest or link to alternatives for Linux (such as Azure CLI or REST API usage).
  • Avoid assuming the presence of Windows-only browsers (Edge, Internet Explorer); mention cross-platform browser support if applicable.
  • Include a comparison table or section that outlines supported OSes and any limitations for non-Windows users.
