Summary
The documentation for Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) consistently prioritizes Windows environments, referencing Windows Server and Windows-specific features and tools throughout. There is a lack of Linux-specific examples, instructions, or parity in feature descriptions. Windows tools (e.g., registry keys, PowerShell cmdlets, ReFS, Hyper-V) are mentioned exclusively, and Linux workloads or backup scenarios are not addressed. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric deployment and omits guidance for Linux-based workloads or administrators.
Recommendations
- Add explicit sections or notes about Linux workload support, if available, including supported distributions and limitations.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for backup, restore, and agent installation, including command-line instructions for common distributions.
- Mention Linux equivalents when discussing Windows tools (e.g., registry keys vs. configuration files, PowerShell vs. shell scripts).
- Clarify whether features such as item-level recovery, parallel backups, and immutable vaults are available for Linux workloads, and provide usage instructions if so.
- Include a support matrix that clearly lists both Windows and Linux workloads, with feature parity and differences highlighted.
- If Linux is not supported, explicitly state this early in the documentation to set expectations for cross-platform users.
