Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-specific tools and solutions (such as Windows Defender, Malicious Software Removal Tool, Microsoft Safety Scanner, and protected folders) when discussing malware removal and ransomware protection. Linux-specific tools or guidance are not mentioned in equivalent sections, and examples or recommendations for Linux environments are missing, despite Azure Backup supporting both Windows and Linux VMs. The guidance for endpoint protection, malware scanning, and folder protection is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples and tools for malware detection and removal (e.g., ClamAV, Sophos, or open-source EDR solutions) alongside Windows tools.
- When discussing endpoint protection and antivirus solutions, mention cross-platform or Linux-compatible options, and provide links to relevant documentation.
- Add guidance or references for protecting critical folders and files on Linux systems (e.g., using file permissions, immutable flags, or Linux security modules like SELinux/AppArmor).
- Ensure that backup validation and restore procedures include Linux-specific considerations and examples, not just generic or Windows-focused steps.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are given equal prominence when listing supported platforms, tools, and best practices.
