Summary:
The documentation displays a notable Windows bias. Many troubleshooting steps and examples focus on Windows-specific tools (such as Event Viewer, Services.msc, Registry Editor, and command prompt commands like net start/stop, vssadmin, icacls, msdtc, regedit, etc.) and PowerShell cmdlets are provided for restore operations. Windows error scenarios are described in detail, often with step-by-step instructions, while Linux equivalents are either missing, less detailed, or only briefly mentioned. In several sections, Windows procedures are presented first or exclusively, with Linux guidance appearing later or only in specific cases. Some error resolutions and examples (e.g., VSS, BitLocker, Visual C++ Redistributable) are entirely Windows-centric, with no Linux alternatives or context.
Recommendations:
- For every Windows-specific troubleshooting step (e.g., using Event Viewer, Services.msc, Registry Editor, net commands), provide equivalent Linux instructions (e.g., using journalctl, systemctl, editing configuration files, checking logs in /var/log, etc.).
- When PowerShell or Windows command prompt examples are given, also provide Bash or shell command equivalents for Linux VMs.
- Ensure Linux error scenarios are described with the same level of detail as Windows, including common issues with Linux agents, file systems, and backup extensions.
- Where Windows tools (e.g., VSS, BitLocker, Visual C++ Redistributable) are referenced, clarify their Linux counterparts or note if the issue is not applicable to Linux, and provide Linux-specific troubleshooting where relevant (e.g., LVM snapshots, SELinux, disk encryption with LUKS).
- In tables and lists, avoid always listing Windows first; alternate or group by OS, or clearly label sections as 'Windows' and 'Linux'.
- Add Linux-specific examples for restore operations, such as using Azure CLI or Bash scripts, and reference Linux documentation links where PowerShell is mentioned.
- Review all error code sections to ensure Linux-specific errors and their resolutions are included and not just Windows-centric issues.
