Summary:
The documentation exclusively references Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS), System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM), DPM-A, and the MARS Agent, all of which are Windows-based backup solutions. There are no mentions of Linux backup agents, Linux-compatible workflows, or examples for Linux environments. This suggests a bias toward Windows platforms and tools, with no guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based backup agents or workflows are supported or not for offline backup scenarios.
- If Linux support exists, include equivalent Linux agent names, supported distributions, and step-by-step instructions or references for Linux environments.
- Provide examples or workflows that demonstrate how to perform offline backup from Linux servers, including any required tools or utilities.
- If Linux is not supported, clarify this limitation early in the documentation to set user expectations.
- Consider adding a comparison table row for OS/platform support to highlight any differences between Windows and Linux environments.
