Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All examples, screenshots, and instructions are specific to the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) Agent, which is a Windows-only tool. There are no references to Linux systems, Linux backup agents, or cross-platform alternatives. The documentation assumes the use of Windows GUIs, Windows file paths, and Windows-specific tools (e.g., MARS console, DPM/MABS, %ProgramFiles% paths, .exe binaries). No Linux commands, tools, or equivalent workflows are mentioned or linked.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state at the beginning of the documentation that MARS Agent is Windows-only, and provide links to equivalent Linux backup solutions (such as Azure Backup for Linux or Azure VM Backup).
- Add a comparison table or section outlining backup options for both Windows and Linux, with links to relevant documentation for Linux users.
- Where possible, provide parity in documentation by including references or links to Linux backup workflows, even if direct feature parity is not available.
- Ensure that navigation paths, commands, and screenshots are labeled as Windows-specific, and avoid implying that the instructions are cross-platform.
- If the product is truly Windows-only, make this explicit in the prerequisites and summary, and direct Linux users to appropriate alternatives.
