Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Backup methods and agents for on-premises machines focus exclusively on Windows (MARS agent, DPM, MABS), with explicit statements that Linux machines aren't supported for direct backup. Windows tools and patterns (VSS, MARS agent) are described in detail, while Linux backup scenarios are omitted. Examples and workflows are Windows-centric, and Windows is mentioned first and exclusively in critical sections.
Recommendations
- Clearly state Linux backup limitations and provide alternative solutions or references for Linux backup (e.g., Azure Backup for Linux VMs, third-party solutions, or native Azure VM backup for Linux).
- Add parity examples and workflows for Linux environments where possible, such as backing up Linux Azure VMs, or clarify that on-premises Linux backup is unsupported and suggest alternatives.
- Include a comparison table or section summarizing support for both Windows and Linux, making it easier for users to understand platform differences.
- If Linux support is planned, note this in the documentation and link to roadmap or feedback channels.
