Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, tools, and examples assume a Windows Server/SharePoint deployment. Only Windows command-line tools (CMD, Registry Editor), Windows file paths, and Windows-specific services (VSS Writer, DCOM, NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) are referenced. There are no Linux equivalents, nor is there any mention of Linux-based SharePoint or Azure Stack deployments. The documentation presumes the use of Windows administrative patterns and does not address cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state that MABS and SharePoint farm protection are only supported on Windows, if that is the case. If Linux is not supported, clarify this early in the prerequisites.
- If any components (such as Azure Backup Server or Azure Stack) support Linux workloads, provide parallel instructions or at least mention the differences and limitations.
- Where possible, include Linux equivalents or alternatives for backup and monitoring (e.g., using Linux-based backup agents, or scripting with Bash instead of CMD/PowerShell).
- Avoid assuming the use of Windows-only tools (such as Registry Editor, CMD, or Windows file paths) without noting platform limitations.
- If the product is Windows-only, add a clear note at the top of the documentation to prevent confusion for Linux administrators.
