Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on installing and using the MARS agent for Windows machines. All examples, instructions, prerequisites, and screenshots are Windows-specific. There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor are any equivalent tools or instructions provided for non-Windows platforms. PowerShell and Windows-specific components (e.g., .NET Framework, .exe installers) are referenced throughout, with no alternatives for other operating systems.
Recommendations
- Clearly state in the introduction and prerequisites whether the MARS agent is Windows-only, and if so, provide guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., suggest alternative backup solutions supported on those platforms).
- If Linux/macOS support is possible, add installation and usage instructions for those platforms, including relevant command-line examples and screenshots.
- Mention and link to Azure backup solutions for Linux (such as Azure Backup for Linux VMs, or third-party tools) in the 'Next steps' or 'See also' sections.
- Avoid using 'Windows machines' as the default term throughout; specify platform limitations and alternatives where appropriate.
