Summary:
The documentation is exclusively focused on installing and using the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent for Windows environments. All instructions, examples, and references are specific to Windows operating systems, including references to Windows-specific installers (.exe), wizards, and tools. There is no mention of Linux support, alternatives, or parity, and Linux users are not addressed at all.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state in the introduction and prerequisites whether the MARS agent is supported on Linux. If not, provide links to Linux backup solutions (such as Azure Backup for Linux or third-party options).
- If Linux support is available or planned, add equivalent installation and usage instructions for Linux systems, including command-line examples (bash, shell scripts) and package management details.
- Include a comparison table or section outlining backup options for both Windows and Linux, helping users choose the correct tool for their platform.
- Avoid Windows-centric language such as only referencing .exe installers, Windows wizards, or Windows-specific settings without mentioning Linux equivalents or alternatives.
- If the product is Windows-only by design, make this explicit at the top of the documentation to set expectations for cross-platform users.
