Summary:
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM), a Windows-only product. All instructions, requirements, and tooling (such as the use of Windows PowerShell, .NET Framework, and .exe installers) are specific to Windows environments. There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or mentions of cross-platform support. The documentation assumes the reader is operating in a Windows ecosystem and does not address Linux-based backup scenarios or tools.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state at the beginning that DPM is a Windows-only product, and provide links to equivalent Azure Backup documentation for Linux environments.
- Where possible, mention or link to Azure Backup solutions and agents for Linux, such as the MARS agent for Linux or Azure VM backup for Linux VMs.
- If relevant, provide parallel instructions or references for Linux-based backup scenarios, or clarify that the described steps are not applicable to Linux.
- Avoid assuming the presence of Windows-only components (e.g., PowerShell, .NET Framework) without noting their platform specificity.
- Include a comparison table or section outlining backup options for both Windows and Linux workloads in Azure.
