Summary:
The documentation exclusively references System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM), a Windows-only backup solution, and provides instructions and screenshots for a Windows GUI workflow. There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or alternative tools mentioned. All prerequisite steps and tooling (e.g., ConfigureSharePoint.exe) are Windows-specific, and the documentation assumes a Windows environment throughout.
Recommendations:
- Acknowledge that DPM is a Windows-only tool and clarify this limitation early in the documentation.
- Provide information or links to alternative solutions for backing up SharePoint data from Linux environments, if any exist.
- If Azure Backup supports Linux-based backup agents or third-party tools for SharePoint or similar workloads, include examples or references.
- Where possible, offer parity by mentioning command-line or scriptable options (e.g., PowerShell, CLI) and note if these are Windows-only.
- Add a section explicitly addressing Linux/Unix users, outlining their options or the lack thereof.
