Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All instructions, tools, and examples assume a Windows Server context, with exclusive references to Windows-specific tools (e.g., Registry Editor, CMD, NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, %Program Files%, Windows registry paths, and Windows service accounts). There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform guidance, and no mention of Linux-based SharePoint deployments or Azure Backup Server usage on Linux. All command-line examples use Windows CMD, and all administrative procedures reference Windows UI or Windows-specific concepts.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state that MABS and SharePoint backup are only supported on Windows, if that is the case. If Linux is not supported, clarify this early in the documentation.
  • If any part of the workflow is possible on Linux (e.g., Azure Backup Server components, agent installation, or monitoring), provide equivalent Linux instructions and examples.
  • For command-line operations, provide PowerShell and, if possible, Bash or cross-platform CLI alternatives.
  • Replace or supplement Windows-specific paths (e.g., %Program Files%, registry keys) with Linux equivalents or note their absence.
  • Mention any limitations or lack of support for Linux environments explicitly, so Linux administrators are not misled.
  • If the product is Windows-only, consider a brief section explaining why, and link to any roadmap or alternatives for Linux environments.
