Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, tools, and examples assume a Windows Server context, with references to Windows-specific components such as the Registry Editor, NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, and the use of CMD commands. There are no examples or guidance for Linux environments, nor any mention of Linux-compatible tools or workflows. The documentation presumes the use of Windows-based SharePoint and SQL Server, and all administrative steps are described using Windows paradigms.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state early in the documentation that MABS and SharePoint backup are only supported on Windows, if that is the case. If Linux support is possible, provide equivalent instructions, tools, and examples for Linux environments.
- Wherever command-line instructions are given (e.g., CMD, Registry Editor), provide Linux shell equivalents or clarify if these steps are not applicable to Linux.
- If MABS or SharePoint backup is not supported on Linux, clearly mention this limitation in the prerequisites section.
- For monitoring and notification steps, include guidance for integrating with Linux-based monitoring tools (e.g., syslog, Nagios) if possible.
- Review all tool and path references (e.g., %Program Files%, Registry keys) and provide Linux alternatives or note their absence.
- If the product is Windows-only, consider a brief section explaining why Linux is not supported and suggest alternative backup strategies for Linux-based SharePoint-like deployments.
