Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias: in the 'Restore VM files and folders' section, the only Microsoft-native backup solution (MARS agent for Azure Backup) is listed as supporting Windows only, and is presented first in the table, while Linux support is only mentioned for third-party solutions. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions or examples, and no parity for Linux-native backup/restore tools or guidance. The rest of the documentation avoids OS-specific instructions, but the backup/restore guidance is Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux-native backup/restore solutions (such as Azure Backup for Linux VMs, or instructions for using rsync, tar, or other common Linux tools) where appropriate.
- Provide explicit Linux examples or instructions alongside Windows ones, especially in sections discussing VM backup and restore.
- If Microsoft-native solutions for Linux are unavailable, clearly state this and suggest best-practice alternatives for Linux users.
- Reorder or clarify tables to avoid listing Windows-only solutions first, or group by OS for clarity.
- Ensure parity in guidance for both Windows and Linux environments throughout the documentation.
