Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. All operational examples, tool references, and recovery procedures are specific to Windows, using tools such as PowerShell, mountvol.exe, diskshadow.exe, psexec.exe, and referencing Windows file paths and sharing mechanisms. There are no examples or guidance for performing these tasks on Linux systems, nor are cross-platform alternatives mentioned. The documentation assumes the administrator is working exclusively in a Windows environment.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit statements clarifying platform support (e.g., if MABS is Windows-only, state this clearly at the top).
- If any components can be managed or accessed from Linux (e.g., SQL Server backups, Azure Backup), provide equivalent Linux command-line examples (e.g., using sqlcmd, Azure CLI, or mounting VHDs on Linux).
- Mention cross-platform tools or alternatives where possible, such as using SMB shares from Linux, or restoring SQL Server databases using Linux tools.
- Where Windows-specific tools are required, explain why and suggest any possible workarounds for non-Windows environments.
- Add a section summarizing platform limitations and supported scenarios, so Linux administrators are aware of any constraints.
