Document Details

The documentation page for Azure Backup support matrix demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows backup scenarios (using MARS agent, DPM, MABS) are described first and in greater detail, with explicit support and feature tables. Linux support is often described in terms of limitations or exclusions (e.g., MARS agent not supported, direct backup of Linux on-premises not supported), and Linux backup options are generally presented as exceptions or after Windows options. Windows-centric tools (MARS, DPM, MABS) are referenced throughout, with Linux support limited to specific scenarios (mostly VM-level backup via extension or as guest VMs in Hyper-V/VMware). There are few Linux-specific examples or guidance, and the documentation lacks parity in describing Linux backup workflows and features.
