Bias Analysis

missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by mentioning Windows tools (Volume Shadow Copy Service - VSS) before Linux equivalents (fsfreeze), and by linking to Windows-specific VM agent and snapshot extension documentation without providing Linux equivalents or examples. There are no Linux-specific backup configuration examples or links to Linux agent/snapshot documentation, and the use of pre/post scripts for Linux is only mentioned as a scenario where crash-consistent backup should not be used, without further guidance.
Recommendations:
- Provide equal coverage of Linux backup mechanisms, such as linking to Linux VM agent and snapshot extension documentation.
- Include Linux-specific examples or scenarios for configuring crash-consistent backups.
- Mention Linux tools (e.g., fsfreeze) alongside Windows tools (VSS), and ensure they are described with equal prominence.
- Clarify agent and extension requirements for both Windows and Linux VMs, with direct links to relevant documentation for each OS.
- Add guidance or examples for Linux users who use pre/post scripts, including alternatives or best practices for crash-consistent backups.
