Summary
The documentation exclusively describes upgrading the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent, which is a Windows-only tool. All instructions, screenshots, and examples are tailored for Windows environments (including Remote Desktop, DPM, and Windows UI wizards). There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor are alternative backup agent upgrade instructions provided for non-Windows platforms. The 'Next steps' section further reinforces the Windows focus.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that the MARS agent is only supported on Windows, and provide links or references to equivalent Azure Backup solutions for Linux/macOS (e.g., Azure Backup for Linux VMs, Azure CLI, or Recovery Services Vault documentation for Linux).
- Add a section clarifying backup agent upgrade procedures for Linux servers, if applicable, or direct users to the appropriate documentation for Linux backup solutions.
- If Azure Backup supports Linux agents, include upgrade instructions and examples for those platforms.
- Ensure parity in documentation by mentioning Linux/macOS limitations or alternatives at the beginning of the article.
