Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically Microsoft Exchange Server and Azure Backup Server (MABS), both of which are Windows-only products. All instructions and examples assume a Windows operating system, referencing Windows file paths (e.g., C:\Program Files), Windows-specific tools (e.g., Eseutil.exe), and GUI navigation in the MABS Administrator Console. There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or mentions of cross-platform considerations.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state that MABS and Exchange Server are Windows-only products, and clarify if Linux support is not available.
- If any Linux-based backup or recovery scenarios are possible (e.g., backing up Linux workloads with Azure Backup), provide links or references to those workflows.
- Where possible, mention alternative Azure Backup solutions that support Linux servers, and link to their documentation.
- If the documentation is intended to be cross-platform, include Linux-specific instructions, tools, and command-line examples.
- Clarify in the prerequisites or introduction that the instructions are specific to Windows environments to set user expectations.
