Summary:
The documentation exclusively references Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS), System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM), and the MARS Agentβall Windows-based backup solutions. There are no mentions of Linux-based backup agents, tools, or workflows, nor are there any examples or considerations for Linux environments. This creates a bias toward Windows and omits guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based backup agents or tools are supported or not for offline backup workflows.
- If Linux support exists, provide equivalent instructions, examples, and workflows for Linux environments (e.g., using Azure CLI, azcopy, or other cross-platform tools).
- Include a comparison table row for OS/platform support, clarifying which options are available for Windows and Linux.
- If only Windows tools are supported, note this limitation clearly and provide guidance or alternatives for Linux users.
- Reference cross-platform utilities (such as AzCopy or Azure CLI) where possible, and provide sample commands for both Windows and Linux.
