Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is presented as the primary automation method, with detailed scripts and command references. Windows-specific tools (MARS, MABS, DPM consoles) are described in depth, while Linux alternatives for on-premises backup management are not mentioned. The ARMClient installation instructions use Chocolatey, a Windows package manager, with no Linux/macOS equivalents. The CLI section is limited in scope and does not provide parity with PowerShell capabilities, and there are no Bash or cross-platform scripting examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash or Azure CLI script examples for deleting vaults and backup items, especially for Linux/macOS users.
  • Include instructions for installing ARMClient on Linux/macOS (e.g., via npm or direct download), not just via Chocolatey.
  • Clarify which steps or tools are Windows-only and offer Linux/macOS alternatives where possible.
  • Expand CLI support and documentation to cover more backup types, not just Azure VM backups.
  • Add notes or links for Linux/macOS users on how to perform equivalent operations, especially for on-premises scenarios.
