Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Windows Server domain controllers. All examples, scripts, and tools referenced (such as PowerShell, ntdsutil.exe, DSRM) are Windows-specific. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, and the guidance assumes the use of Windows tools and patterns throughout. Linux-based domain controllers (e.g., Samba) or non-Windows backup/restore procedures are not mentioned.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that the procedures are for Windows-based Active Directory and clarify if Linux-based domain controllers (e.g., Samba) are supported or not.
- If Azure Backup supports Linux-based domain controllers, add equivalent Linux examples and procedures (e.g., using Samba, Linux backup tools, shell commands).
- Provide parity in examples by including Linux/macOS commands and tools where applicable, or link to relevant documentation for non-Windows environments.
- Add a section discussing limitations or alternatives for Linux/macOS users, including guidance on backup/restore for Samba AD DCs if relevant.
