Summary
The documentation page for Azure Backup Server v4 exhibits a notable Windows bias. Windows workloads and tools are described in detail, with multiple examples and scenarios, while Linux support is relegated to a single, brief section. The Linux section only covers protection as a VM guest, with no mention of file-level or application-level backup for native Linux servers. Windows-specific technologies (NTFS, VSS, Visual C++, etc.) are referenced throughout, and Windows examples are always presented first or exclusively. There is no parity in example depth, nor are Linux-specific backup scenarios or limitations discussed.
Recommendations
- Expand the Linux section to include supported backup scenarios for native Linux servers, not just as VM guests.
- Provide detailed examples for Linux workloads, including supported file systems, backup/restore procedures, and limitations.
- List Linux support alongside Windows in all relevant tables, rather than in a separate, minimal section.
- Mention Linux-specific tools, file systems (e.g., ext4, xfs), and backup mechanisms where applicable.
- Clarify whether application-level backup (e.g., for MySQL, PostgreSQL) is supported for Linux, and provide guidance if not.
- Ensure that any Windows-only limitations are clearly marked, and Linux alternatives/workarounds are suggested.
