Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically System Center VMM, Hyper-V, and PowerShell scripts. All provided command-line examples are in PowerShell, and all procedures reference Windows-specific tools and registry paths. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, and Linux-based recovery scenarios are not discussed. VMware and physical server sections only mention manual uninstallation of the mobility service, with no Linux-specific guidance or scripts.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent instructions and scripts for Linux-based servers, especially for unregistering, disabling protection, and cleaning up agents.
- Include Bash or shell script examples for common tasks where possible, or explicitly state if a task is not relevant/applicable to Linux.
- Clearly separate procedures for Windows and Linux environments, ensuring Linux administrators have parity in guidance.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, Linux file paths, package managers) where appropriate.
- If certain features are Windows-only, explicitly state this and provide alternative guidance or links for Linux users.
