Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, examples, and supported platforms are exclusively for Windows Server (2016/2019) and Windows-based tools (DPM, MABS). The setup and troubleshooting sections rely on Windows-specific tools (e.g., PSExec, regedit, Windows command prompt, PowerShell modules), and there are no Linux equivalents or mentions of cross-platform alternatives. No Linux distributions or commands are referenced, and the workflow assumes a Windows administrative environment throughout.
Recommendations
- Clearly state early in the documentation that only Windows platforms are supported, if that is a product limitation. If not, add explicit support information for Linux and other platforms.
- If DPM/MABS or the MARS agent can be used on Linux, provide equivalent Linux instructions, including commands for mounting NFS shares, managing certificates, and interacting with Azure (e.g., using Azure CLI instead of PowerShell).
- Where PowerShell is used, provide Azure CLI equivalents for cross-platform compatibility.
- Replace or supplement Windows-only tools (e.g., PSExec, regedit) with cross-platform alternatives or document how to perform equivalent tasks on Linux.
- If Linux is not supported, add a note in the 'Supported platforms' section to clarify this and, if possible, link to alternative solutions for Linux users.
