Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, examples, and screenshots assume the use of Windows Server, Windows client, or Windows-specific tools. There is no mention of Linux support, nor are there any Linux command-line examples or alternative workflows. All utilities referenced are Windows executables, and registry edits, command prompts, and PowerShell commands are used exclusively. The documentation does not address how to perform these tasks on Linux systems or whether it is even possible.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether Linux is supported or not for DPM/MABS offline backup workflows.
- If Linux support exists, provide equivalent instructions, commands, and examples for Linux environments (e.g., bash commands, Linux file paths, Linux-compatible utilities).
- Mention and document any cross-platform or Linux-native tools that can be used for offline backup and Azure Import/Export workflows.
- If only Windows is supported, clarify this early in the documentation to set expectations for Linux users.
- Provide guidance or references for Linux users who may need to perform similar offline backup operations, even if via different Azure services or tools.
