Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows workloads and environments. All examples and supported scenarios are for Windows operating systems, Windows-based applications (SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint), and Windows file systems (NTFS, ReFS). Linux is only mentioned as a guest VM in Hyper-V or VMware, with limited support (entire VM backup only, no file-level recovery). There are no examples or details for Linux-native workloads, file systems, or application-level backup on Linux. Windows-specific technologies (VSS, NTFS, Windows Management Framework) are referenced throughout, with no Linux equivalents or parity.
Recommendations
- Add explicit documentation for Linux workloads, including supported distributions, file systems (e.g., ext4, xfs), and backup/recovery capabilities.
- Provide examples for Linux VM backup and recovery, including any limitations or differences compared to Windows.
- Clarify whether application-level backup (e.g., for MySQL, PostgreSQL) is supported for Linux workloads.
- List any Linux-specific requirements, agents, or tools needed for Azure Backup Server.
- Present Linux support information alongside Windows, not only as an afterthought or in a separate row.
- If Linux support is limited by product design, state this clearly and suggest alternative solutions for Linux users.
