Summary:
The documentation is exclusively focused on backing up Windows Server system state using Azure Backup. All instructions, screenshots, and tool references are specific to Windows (e.g., MARS Agent, .exe installers, Windows Server versions, Windows-specific commands like SFC). There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or even mentions of Linux support or alternatives. The workflow, tools, and terminology are all Windows-centric, and Linux users are not addressed at all.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state in the introduction that this guide is Windows-only, and provide a link to equivalent Linux backup documentation if available.
- Add a section or cross-reference for Linux system backup to Azure, if supported, including relevant tools (e.g., Azure CLI, azcopy, rsync, or third-party agents).
- If Azure Backup supports Linux system state or file backup, provide parallel instructions and screenshots for Linux environments.
- Avoid using only Windows-specific terminology and tools (such as MARS Agent, .exe installers, SFC) without mentioning if or how Linux users can achieve similar results.
- If Linux is not supported for system state backup, explicitly mention this limitation to set user expectations.
