Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed PowerShell examples and cmdlets for managing soft delete operations, referencing Windows-centric tools and patterns, and omitting equivalent Linux CLI (Azure CLI, Bash) examples. The PowerShell workflow is described in detail, while no Linux-native or cross-platform command-line instructions are given. The ordering also places PowerShell before REST API, and there is no mention of Azure CLI or Bash scripting, which are commonly used on Linux and macOS.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI examples for all operations (delete backup, undelete, resume backup) to ensure Linux and cross-platform parity.
- Include Bash script snippets where appropriate, demonstrating how to interact with Azure Backup using REST API or Azure CLI.
- Explicitly mention that all operations can be performed from Linux/macOS environments using Azure CLI or REST API.
- Reorder sections so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, REST API) are presented before or alongside PowerShell to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows tools.
- Add a note clarifying tool availability and platform compatibility for each method.
