Summary:
The documentation page for Azure Backup service release notes exhibits some Windows bias. Several features and updates reference Windows-specific tools (such as MARS agent and Microsoft Azure Backup Server), and Windows platforms are mentioned explicitly (e.g., 'protect and run on Windows Server 2022'). There is a lack of explicit Linux or cross-platform examples, and Linux equivalents are not mentioned alongside Windows tools. In sections where command-line or scripting interfaces are referenced, PowerShell is sometimes mentioned without equal mention of Bash/CLI. Overall, the documentation assumes or highlights Windows environments and tooling, with limited attention to Linux or cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Where Windows-specific tools (e.g., MARS agent, Microsoft Azure Backup Server) are mentioned, clarify their platform limitations and provide equivalent Linux-native solutions or alternatives if available.
- When referencing scripting or automation (e.g., PowerShell), always mention Azure CLI and/or Bash alternatives, and provide example commands for both Windows and Linux environments.
- Include explicit references to Linux support in backup scenarios, especially for VM and database workloads that are commonly run on Linux (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, SAP HANA).
- Add notes or links to documentation that address Linux-specific backup agents, tools, or best practices.
- Review the documentation for opportunities to use neutral, cross-platform language and to ensure Linux users are equally addressed in all relevant sections.
