Summary
The documentation page for Azure Backup architecture demonstrates a notable Windows bias. It provides detailed backup scenarios and tooling for Windows environments (MARS agent, DPM, MABS), while explicitly stating that Linux machines aren't supported for direct backup with the MARS agent and omitting Linux-specific backup workflows. Windows tools and agents are mentioned exclusively and described in detail, with no Linux equivalents or alternatives presented. The structure and examples prioritize Windows solutions, leaving Linux and macOS users with limited guidance or options.
Recommendations
- Clearly state Linux backup limitations and provide alternative solutions or workarounds for Linux environments.
- Include documentation or links for backing up Linux machines, such as using Azure VM backup extension, third-party tools, or scripts.
- Present backup scenarios for Linux and Windows side-by-side, or in parallel sections, to ensure parity.
- Add examples and guidance for Linux VM backup, including supported agents, CLI commands, and recovery procedures.
- Highlight any cross-platform tools or APIs that can be used for both Windows and Linux machines.
