Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows environments. All examples, prerequisites, and instructions assume the use of Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, .NET Framework, .exe installers) and the DPM server itself, which is a Windows-only product. There are no examples or instructions for Linux environments, and Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively and before any Linux equivalents (which are absent).
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that DPM is a Windows-only product early in the documentation to set expectations for cross-platform users.
- If Azure Backup supports Linux workloads via other agents or methods, provide links or references to those alternatives for Linux users.
- Where possible, mention Linux backup options (such as Azure Backup for Linux VMs or MARS agent alternatives) and link to their documentation.
- If any steps (such as downloading vault credentials or configuring storage) are relevant to both Windows and Linux, provide parallel Linux examples or clarify platform applicability.
- Add a section summarizing backup options for non-Windows workloads to help guide Linux administrators.
