Summary:
The documentation is exclusively focused on restoring System State for Windows Server using Azure Backup. All instructions, tools, screenshots, and command-line examples are specific to Windows environments (e.g., Windows Server Backup, wbadmin, MARS agent, Windows Recovery Environment). There are no references to Linux systems, Linux tools, or cross-platform considerations. The documentation assumes the reader is operating in a Windows-only context.
Recommendations:
- If Azure Backup supports similar system state or configuration backup/restore for Linux servers, add equivalent sections and walkthroughs for Linux, including relevant tools (e.g., rsync, tar, Timeshift, or native Azure Linux backup agents).
- If Linux system state backup is not supported, clearly state this limitation at the beginning of the article to set expectations for cross-platform users.
- Where possible, provide parity in troubleshooting and recovery guidance for Linux environments, or link to relevant Linux documentation.
- Consider restructuring the documentation or titling it more explicitly as 'Restore System State to a Windows Server (Windows Only)' to avoid confusion for non-Windows users.
