Summary
The documentation for Azure Backup architecture is notably Windows-centric in its coverage of on-premises backup scenarios. It exclusively describes backup methods and agents (MARS, DPM, MABS) that only support Windows machines, with explicit statements that Linux machines aren't supported for direct backup. There are no Linux equivalents or alternative backup approaches mentioned for on-premises Linux systems, and Windows tools and patterns (MARS agent, VSS, DPM/MABS) are discussed in detail, while Linux backup scenarios are omitted.
Recommendations
- Clearly state the limitations for Linux on-premises backup and provide links or references to alternative solutions for Linux systems (e.g., third-party agents, Azure Backup integration via other means, or Azure-native Linux backup options if available).
- Add a section or note summarizing how Linux workloads can be protected, even if only via Azure VM backup or other Azure-native features.
- Where possible, balance the presentation by mentioning Linux support status earlier in the document, so Linux users can quickly understand their options.
- If Linux backup is not supported for certain scenarios, explicitly mention this and suggest best practices or alternatives.
