Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically referencing System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM), Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS), and the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agentβall Windows-only products. All examples, prerequisites, and workflows assume a Windows system, referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., AzureOfflineBackupDiskPrep.exe), Windows PowerShell, and browsers like Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer. There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or guidance for performing offline seeding from Linux systems, nor is it clarified whether the workflow is possible from non-Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state in the prerequisites and introduction whether the workflow is supported or unsupported on Linux systems.
- If possible, provide Linux-compatible tools or scripts for preparing disks and interacting with the Azure Import/Export service.
- Include example workflows or guidance for performing offline seeding from Linux servers, or provide links to relevant Linux documentation if available.
- Mention cross-platform alternatives (such as Azure CLI or REST APIs) where possible, and provide usage examples for Linux environments.
- Clarify any limitations or required workarounds for Linux administrators who need to seed data to Azure.
