Summary:
The documentation page for Azure Backup demonstrates a Windows bias by primarily referencing Windows-centric tools (such as the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent, DPM, and Azure Backup Server), mentioning Windows/Hyper-V before Linux/VMware, and not providing explicit Linux or cross-platform examples for on-premises backup scenarios. Linux-specific backup agents or instructions are not mentioned for on-premises workloads, and the examples and terminology are more familiar to Windows administrators.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit references to Linux backup tools or agents (if supported), and provide guidance for backing up Linux-based on-premises servers.
- Present examples for both Windows and Linux platforms when describing backup scenarios, especially for on-premises workloads.
- Avoid listing Windows/Hyper-V before Linux/VMware unless there is a technical reason; strive for parity or alternate the order.
- Clarify whether the MARS agent or other backup agents support Linux, and if not, suggest alternatives for Linux environments.
- Add links or references to documentation that addresses Linux backup scenarios, including command-line or scripting examples relevant to Linux users.
