Summary:
The documentation page for Azure Backup Server v4 demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Windows workloads, tools, and patterns are presented first and in detail, while Linux support is minimal and only described in the context of being a guest VM on Windows-based hypervisors. There are no Linux-specific backup scenarios, examples, or tooling mentioned. Windows-specific technologies (e.g., NTFS, VSS, system state, bare metal recovery) and requirements are referenced throughout, with little to no equivalent Linux guidance.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux backup scenarios, including agent-based backup for native Linux workloads (not just as VMs on Windows hosts).
- Include Linux-specific examples and workflows, such as file-level recovery for Linux VMs, supported file systems, and backup/restore procedures.
- Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., integration with LVM snapshots, ext4/xfs support, Linux-specific restore options) where relevant.
- Balance the order of presentation: introduce Linux and Windows support in parallel where possible, rather than always listing Windows first.
- Clarify any limitations or differences in Linux support (e.g., snapshot consistency, supported distributions) in the same detail as for Windows.
- If PowerShell or Windows-specific tools are referenced, provide equivalent Linux command-line or scripting examples where applicable.
