Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows scenarios, tools, and agents (such as MARS, DPM, MABS, and PowerShell) are described in greater detail and often appear first. Windows-specific backup and restore options are more comprehensive, with Linux support frequently noted as 'not supported' for agents and backup servers. Restore instructions and examples reference PowerShell and Windows tooling, with Linux equivalents missing or less detailed. Some features (e.g., file-level restore, backup agents) are unavailable for Linux, and workarounds or alternatives are not always provided.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux CLI and script examples alongside PowerShell instructions for backup and restore operations.
- Expand documentation for Linux scenarios, including supported distributions, limitations, and troubleshooting steps.
- Clarify parity between Windows and Linux for each backup/restore method, and explicitly note when a feature is Windows-only.
- Where features are not supported for Linux, suggest alternative approaches or link to roadmap/feature requests.
- Reorder sections to present Windows and Linux support side-by-side, rather than Windows-first.
- Include more details on agentless backup and restore for Linux, and highlight any supported third-party tools.
