Summary

The documentation for Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) is heavily focused on Windows environments. All examples, supported platforms, and operational instructions reference Windows Server, Windows-specific features (such as registry keys, ReFS, and PowerShell cmdlets), and Microsoft workloads (SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint). There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor are there examples or instructions for non-Windows platforms. VMware support is discussed, but only in the context of VMs running Windows or integration with Windows-based backup servers.

Recommendations

Explicitly state platform limitations and whether Linux/macOS workloads or servers are supported.
If Linux or macOS support is possible, add equivalent examples, instructions, and feature tables for those platforms.
Provide parity in documentation for backup, restore, and management operations on Linux/macOS, including command-line examples (e.g., bash, systemd, Linux file systems).
If not supported, clarify this early in the documentation to set expectations for non-Windows users.
