Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. Windows-based backup methods (MARS agent, DPM, MABS) are described in detail and appear first in tables and explanations, while Linux support is often listed as 'not supported' or only as a secondary note. There are no Linux-specific examples or tools mentioned, and the documentation focuses heavily on Windows tools and backup agents. Linux support is generally limited to VM-level backup via extensions, with no direct on-premises Linux backup options provided.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific backup examples and workflows where possible, especially for on-premises scenarios.
- List Linux support and options alongside Windows in all tables, not as afterthoughts or exclusions.
- Include parity in tool descriptions: if a Windows tool (like MARS agent) is mentioned, clarify Linux alternatives or explicitly state roadmap plans.
- Add practical examples or references for configuring app-consistent backups on Linux (e.g., sample custom scripts).
- Avoid always listing Windows options first; alternate or group by scenario rather than OS.
- Clarify the limitations for Linux support and, where possible, provide guidance or workarounds for Linux users.
