Summary
The documentation for troubleshooting the Azure Backup (MARS) agent is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, instructions, and troubleshooting steps are specific to Windows OS, tools, and patterns (e.g., MMC console, Internet Explorer, Task Scheduler, Registry Editor, vssadmin, PowerShell, Windows file paths, and Windows-specific error codes). There are no references to Linux environments, tools, or equivalent procedures, nor is it clarified that the MARS agent is Windows-only, which may confuse cross-platform users.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state early in the documentation that the MARS agent is only supported on Windows, if that is the case. If Linux support is planned or exists, provide equivalent troubleshooting steps for Linux.
- Where possible, mention alternatives for Linux users, such as Azure Backup for Linux VMs, and link to relevant documentation.
- Avoid assuming the use of Windows-only tools (e.g., Internet Explorer, Task Scheduler, Registry Editor) without clarifying OS requirements.
- If the documentation is intended for a cross-platform audience, provide parallel troubleshooting steps or notes for Linux (or clarify the scope).
- Add a section or callout for users seeking Linux backup solutions, directing them to appropriate Azure documentation.
