Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on restoring System State for Windows Server using Azure Backup. All instructions, examples, and tools referenced (MARS agent, Windows Server Backup, wbadmin, Win RE) are specific to Windows environments. There are no references to Linux equivalents, nor any mention of how to perform similar operations on Linux servers. The documentation assumes the reader is using Windows and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add a section or a separate article for restoring system state or equivalent on Linux servers using Azure Backup, if supported.
  • Include Linux-specific tools and commands (e.g., rsync, tar, dd, or native Linux backup/restore utilities) where applicable.
  • If Azure Backup supports Linux VM backup and restore, provide step-by-step instructions for Linux, including screenshots and command-line examples.
  • Clearly indicate at the beginning of the article that the instructions are Windows-specific, and provide links to Linux documentation if available.
  • Ensure that future documentation covers both Windows and Linux scenarios, or explicitly states platform limitations.
