Bias Analysis

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by listing Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent for Azure Backup, which is Windows-only, as the first and only detailed backup solution for VM file/folder recovery, while Linux support is only mentioned in third-party solutions. There are no Linux-specific examples or instructions, and no mention of Linux-native tools or patterns. The documentation also references Windows tools (MARS agent) without Linux equivalents.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific backup and recovery examples, including native Linux tools or Azure-supported Linux backup agents.
- List Linux and Windows solutions in parallel, rather than Windows-first, and clarify OS support for each tool.
- Include command-line examples for both Windows (PowerShell/Command Prompt) and Linux (Bash/CLI) where relevant.
- If Azure does not offer a first-party Linux backup agent, explicitly state this and recommend best-practice alternatives for Linux users.
- Ensure parity in documentation depth for both Windows and Linux recovery workflows.
