Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows backup scenarios and tools (MARS, DPM, MABS) throughout, often listing Windows support and features first or exclusively. Linux support is frequently noted as 'not supported' or is only available via indirect or limited methods (e.g., file-consistent backup for Linux VMs via DPM/MABS, custom scripts for app-consistency). There are no Linux-specific examples, and Windows tools are referenced without Linux equivalents. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-centric backup patterns and does not provide parity in Linux guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific backup examples and workflows where possible, especially for Azure VM and on-premises scenarios.
- List Linux support and features alongside Windows in all tables and descriptions, rather than as afterthoughts or exclusions.
- Include Linux-native tools and commands (e.g., shell scripts, cron jobs, rsync, etc.) where relevant, or clarify their (lack of) support explicitly.
- Offer guidance or references for Linux users seeking backup solutions outside the MARS/DPM/MABS ecosystem, including third-party or Azure-native alternatives.
- Ensure that any mention of Windows tools or features is balanced with Linux equivalents or clear statements about platform limitations.
- Add more detail and links for configuring app-consistent backups on Linux, not just referencing 'custom scripts'.
