Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. PowerShell is heavily featured as the primary automation method, with detailed scripts and commands. Windows-specific backup tools (MARS, MABS, DPM) and management consoles are referenced throughout, with step-by-step instructions and screenshots. The ARMClient tool is introduced via Chocolatey, a Windows package manager, and only Windows executable usage is described. Linux/macOS alternatives for automation, management, or ARMClient installation are not provided. The CLI section is limited in scope and does not offer parity with PowerShell or Windows tools, and is explicitly noted as supporting only Azure VM backups.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS users, especially for automation tasks.
  • Include instructions for installing and using ARMClient on Linux/macOS (e.g., via .NET Core or manual download).
  • Mention cross-platform package managers (e.g., Homebrew for macOS, apt/yum for Linux) when introducing tools like ARMClient.
  • Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which are Windows-specific, and offer alternatives where possible.
  • Expand Azure CLI coverage to match PowerShell functionality, or note limitations and suggest workarounds.
  • Add notes or links for Linux/macOS users on how to manage Recovery Services vaults without Windows-only tools.
