Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All supported platforms are Windows SKUs, and the process relies on Windows-specific tools such as PowerShell, MARS Agent (Windows-only), PsExec, and Windows command prompt. There are no instructions, examples, or support for Linux or macOS systems. Critical steps (agent installation, backup, troubleshooting) are not possible on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Clearly state in the introduction and support matrix that Linux and macOS are not supported, and provide links to alternative Azure backup solutions for those platforms.
- If possible, develop and document a Linux-compatible workflow for offline backup seeding, including supported agents and command-line tools.
- Provide parity in examples and troubleshooting for Linux environments if/when support is added.
- Consider offering guidance for cross-platform backup strategies using Azure Data Box for non-Windows workloads.
