Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All instructions, prerequisites, and tooling references assume the use of Windows (e.g., Windows PowerShell, .NET Framework, .exe installers). There are no examples, instructions, or even mentions of Linux or cross-platform scenarios. The documentation does not address how to prepare DPM or Azure Backup in a Linux environment, nor does it mention Linux-compatible tools or alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state that DPM is a Windows-only product, if that is the case, or clarify Linux support status.
- If Linux support exists (e.g., for Azure Backup agent or similar workloads), provide parallel instructions and examples for Linux systems, including command-line steps (bash, shell scripts), package installation (deb/rpm), and configuration.
- Mention Linux prerequisites (e.g., required libraries, supported distributions) alongside Windows prerequisites.
- Reference Linux-native tools or equivalents where Windows tools (PowerShell, .NET Framework, .exe installers) are mentioned.
- If Linux is not supported, add a clear note at the beginning to inform users and suggest alternative backup solutions for Linux workloads.
