Summary:
The glossary demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific technologies (e.g., VSS, DPM, MABS, System State backup, Bare metal backup) and tools (Azure PowerShell, Windows-specific documentation links) more frequently and in greater detail than Linux equivalents. In the few places where Linux is mentioned (e.g., application-consistent backup), it is treated as an afterthought or parenthetical. There are no explicit Linux-focused examples, tools, or documentation links, and Windows patterns and terminology are introduced first or exclusively.
Recommendations:
- Add Linux-specific backup concepts and terms (e.g., LVM snapshots, fsfreeze, pre/post backup scripts) to the glossary.
- Where Windows-specific tools or technologies are mentioned (e.g., VSS, DPM, MABS, System State backup), provide Linux equivalents or note their absence.
- Include references and links to Linux backup documentation and tools (e.g., Azure CLI usage on Linux, Linux agent documentation).
- When describing cross-platform features (like application-consistent backup), give equal detail and examples for both Windows and Linux.
- Avoid always listing Windows tools or patterns first; alternate or group by platform where appropriate.
