Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias in both structure and content. Windows scenarios, tools, and agents (such as MARS, DPM, MABS, and PowerShell) are described in detail and often appear before or instead of Linux equivalents. Linux support is frequently described in terms of limitations or as 'not supported' for features available to Windows. Examples and tool references (e.g., PowerShell for restore, MARS agent) are Windows-centric, with minimal or no equivalent Linux command-line or tool guidance. Linux-specific backup scenarios are less detailed, and advanced features (like file-level restore, agent-based backup with MARS/DPM/MABS) are not available or not documented for Linux.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux CLI (az CLI, Bash) examples alongside or before PowerShell examples for all backup and restore operations.
- Include Linux-specific guidance and parity for agent-based backup and restore, or clearly state roadmap/alternatives if not supported.
- Where features are Windows-only (e.g., MARS agent, DPM/MABS integration), offer Linux alternatives or workarounds, or explain the technical limitations.
- Document Linux backup/restore scenarios with the same level of detail as Windows, including step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting.
- Highlight Linux-specific best practices, supported distributions, and scripting options (e.g., using custom scripts for app-consistent backups) more prominently.
- Avoid presenting Windows tools and workflows (e.g., PowerShell, Windows agents) as the default or only option; always mention Linux options in parallel where possible.
