Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, prerequisites, and examples assume the use of Windows Server (specifically Windows Server 2019/2022), Windows file paths (C:\, D:\), Windows domain membership, and Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Windows Update, .NET Framework). There are no references to Linux-based installations, tools, or alternative workflows, and no mention of Linux compatibility or support.
Recommendations:
  • Clearly state at the beginning whether Azure Backup Server supports only Windows or if Linux is also supported. If Linux is not supported, explicitly mention this to set expectations.
  • If Linux is supported, provide equivalent installation and configuration instructions for Linux environments, including prerequisites, file paths, and commands.
  • Include Linux-based examples for network connectivity checks, such as using curl, wget, or other Linux-native tools, in addition to the PowerShell cmdlet.
  • Mention Linux equivalents for domain joining (e.g., joining to Active Directory via realmd/sssd) if applicable.
  • Reference Linux-compatible backup agents or tools if Azure Backup Server can protect Linux workloads, and provide links to relevant documentation.
  • Avoid using only Windows terminology (e.g., C:\, D:\, Windows Update) or provide Linux alternatives where possible.
  • If the product is Windows-only, consider providing guidance for Linux workload protection using other Azure Backup solutions.
