Summary:
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, with all examples and instructions referencing Windows tools (e.g., robocopy, Windows Server Backup utility, PowerShell). There is no mention of Linux support, tools, or examples, and the MARS agent is implicitly presented as a Windows-only solution. Linux users are not addressed, and there are no cross-platform considerations.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state in the introduction whether the MARS agent is Windows-only or if Linux is supported. If it is Windows-only, make this explicit to set expectations.
- If Linux support exists or is planned, provide equivalent Linux examples and tools (e.g., rsync instead of robocopy, bash scripts instead of PowerShell).
- If the product is not available for Linux, suggest alternative Azure backup solutions for Linux workloads and link to their documentation.
- Avoid assuming PowerShell or Windows tools by default; where possible, provide cross-platform automation examples.
- Add a section or FAQ entry addressing Linux/Unix users and their options for backup and restore with Azure.
