Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, tools, and workflows are described exclusively for Windows Server, Windows clients, DPM, and MABS, with no mention of Linux support or equivalent Linux tools. All command-line instructions use Windows executables, and registry edits and certificate management are described using Windows-specific utilities and paths. PowerShell is referenced for user identification, and all screenshots and UI flows are from Windows-based products. There is no guidance for Linux-based backup servers or cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state if Linux is unsupported for DPM/MABS offline backup workflows; if supported, provide equivalent Linux instructions and tools.
- If possible, develop and document cross-platform utilities (e.g., for disk preparation and certificate management) that work on Linux.
- Include Linux command-line examples (bash, shell scripts) and file paths where applicable.
- Mention Linux backup server options and clarify their compatibility with Azure Import/Export.
- Provide parity in screenshots and UI walkthroughs for any supported Linux-based management consoles.
- Avoid assuming the user is on Windows by default; structure prerequisites and workflows to address both Windows and Linux environments where possible.
