Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, prerequisites, and examples are tailored exclusively for Windows Server, DPM/MABS (which are Windows-only products), and Windows-specific tools (e.g., PSExec, regedit, Windows command prompt, PowerShell modules). There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or even mentions, and the workflow assumes the use of Windows-only features and paths.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state in the introduction and prerequisites that the workflow is only supported on Windows platforms, and that DPM/MABS are Windows-only products.
- If any part of the workflow (such as mounting Azure Data Box via NFS, or using the MARS agent) can be performed from Linux/macOS, provide parallel instructions and examples for those platforms.
- Where possible, mention cross-platform alternatives (e.g., using standard NFS mount commands on Linux, or Azure CLI instead of PowerShell for certain steps).
- Clarify tool dependencies (e.g., PSExec, regedit) as Windows-only, and suggest alternatives or workarounds for non-Windows users if feasible.
- Add a section addressing Linux/macOS users, either to direct them to alternative backup solutions or to clarify the lack of support.
