Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, prerequisites, and tooling (MARS agent, AzureOfflineBackupDiskPrep utility, Azure PowerShell, and browser requirements) are Windows-specific. There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor are alternative workflows or tools provided for non-Windows platforms. This creates significant friction for users on Linux or macOS, who cannot follow the documented workflow.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform limitations (e.g., 'Windows only') at the top of the documentation.
- If possible, provide equivalent workflows or tools for Linux/macOS (e.g., CLI utilities, cross-platform scripts).
- Offer guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as alternative Azure backup methods or links to relevant documentation.
- Include a comparison table of platform support for offline seeding workflows.
- If the workflow is fundamentally Windows-only, clarify this and direct non-Windows users to supported alternatives.
