Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically referencing Data Protection Manager (DPM), which is a Windows-only tool. All examples, screenshots, and instructions assume use of Windows Server, Windows-based SQL Server, and Windows management consoles. There are no Linux or macOS equivalents, nor are alternative cross-platform backup tools mentioned. The only automation reference is to PowerShell, further reinforcing Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Clearly state early in the documentation that DPM is a Windows-only solution and provide links to Azure Backup documentation for Linux workloads.
- Offer guidance or references for backing up SQL Server running on Linux (SQL Server on Linux is supported by Microsoft).
- Include alternative backup strategies or tools for non-Windows environments, such as Azure Backup integration with Linux servers, or third-party solutions.
- If possible, provide parity in automation examples (e.g., Bash scripts, Azure CLI) alongside PowerShell.
- Add a comparison table highlighting platform support and limitations.
