Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Azure Backup Server and System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM), both of which are Windows-only tools. All instructions, screenshots, and terminology are centered around the Windows management console, with no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents, CLI alternatives, or cross-platform recovery workflows. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, and the prerequisites explicitly require Windows-based software.
Recommendations
- Clarify in the introduction that Azure Backup Server and DPM are Windows-only solutions, and explicitly state platform limitations.
- Provide links or references to Azure backup and recovery solutions for Linux workloads, such as Azure Backup for Linux VMs or file recovery using Azure CLI.
- Include a section or cross-reference for Linux/macOS users, outlining alternative recovery processes or tools.
- If possible, add CLI-based recovery steps that could be run from Linux or macOS, or explain how Linux data can be recovered if protected by Azure Backup.
- Ensure parity in documentation by including Linux-specific scenarios or at least acknowledging the lack of support.
