Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All instructions, screenshots, and terminology are specific to the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) Agent, which is a Windows-only tool. There are no references to Linux systems, no Linux command-line or GUI examples, and no mention of restoring files on non-Windows platforms. The documentation assumes the use of Windows features (snap-ins, desktop apps, ACLs in NTFS format) and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state at the beginning of the documentation that the MARS Agent is only supported on Windows, if that is the case.
- If Linux support is available via other Azure backup solutions (such as Azure Backup for Linux VMs or Azure CLI), provide links or references to those alternatives.
- If Linux support is planned, add equivalent Linux instructions, including command-line examples and screenshots for restoring files on Linux systems.
- Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (such as 'snap-in', 'desktop app', 'NTFS ACLs') without clarifying platform limitations.
- Add a comparison table or section outlining supported platforms and tools for both Windows and Linux, helping users quickly find the relevant guidance.
