Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias by listing the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent for Azure Backup, which is Windows-only, as the first and only detailed backup solution for VM file/folder recovery. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions or examples, and the documentation does not provide parity in backup/restore guidance for Linux VMs, instead referring users to third-party solutions for Linux support.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit examples and instructions for restoring Linux VM files and folders, not just Windows.
- If referencing the MARS agent for Windows, provide equivalent first-party or recommended solutions for Linux VM backup and restore, or clarify the process for Linux VMs using Azure-native tools.
- When listing backup solutions, avoid placing Windows-only solutions first or as the only detailed example; instead, present cross-platform solutions or group by OS support.
- Provide command-line examples (e.g., shell scripts) for Linux where relevant, alongside any PowerShell or Windows-specific instructions.
- Explicitly mention any differences or additional steps required for Linux environments throughout the recovery process.
