Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias: all workload examples, supported platforms, and backup/recovery scenarios are centered on Windows operating systems and Microsoft applications (e.g., Windows Server, SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, Hyper-V). Linux is only mentioned as a guest VM, with limited support (entire VM backup only, no file-level recovery), and there are no examples or details for Linux workloads, filesystems, or application backups. Windows-specific technologies (NTFS, VSS, ReFS, Windows Management Framework) are referenced exclusively, with no Linux equivalents or alternatives discussed.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit support matrix rows for Linux distributions, including supported filesystems (e.g., ext4, xfs) and backup/recovery capabilities (file-level, application-aware, etc.).
- Provide examples and details for Linux workloads, such as how to back up and recover Linux VMs, files, and applications.
- Clarify any limitations or differences in Linux support (e.g., snapshot consistency, file-level recovery) and reference relevant Linux tools or technologies (e.g., LVM snapshots, rsync, etc.) where appropriate.
- If Linux support is limited by design, state this clearly and provide links to alternative Azure backup solutions for Linux workloads.
- Avoid referencing only Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., VSS, NTFS, Windows Management Framework) without mentioning Linux equivalents or noting their absence.
