Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows, with all instructions, examples, and prerequisites focused exclusively on Windows operating systems and tools. The process is described only for the MARS Agent, which is Windows-only, and all steps involve Windows-specific utilities (PowerShell, PsExec, Control Panel, Windows registry, etc.). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents, nor any mention of alternative workflows for non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Clearly state at the beginning that the MARS Agent and this workflow are Windows-only, and provide links or guidance for Linux/macOS users seeking offline backup solutions with Azure Data Box.
- If Azure Data Box supports offline seeding for other backup agents or platforms, add sections or links for Linux/macOS workflows.
- Where possible, mention alternative Azure backup agents or tools that work on Linux/macOS and describe their offline seeding procedures.
- Consider adding a comparison table of supported platforms and agents for Azure Data Box offline backup.
- If future support for Linux/macOS is planned, note this in the documentation.
