Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. Windows-specific tools (VSS) and PowerShell are mentioned first and in detail, while Linux equivalents are referenced only briefly or generically (e.g., 'pre/post scripts' and 'freeze' tool). There are no concrete Linux command/script examples, and guidance for Linux is less prescriptive. The restore example specifically references PowerShell for managed disk restores, with no Linux CLI or automation alternatives provided.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux CLI (az CLI) and shell script examples alongside PowerShell examples for backup and restore operations.
- Mention Linux tools (e.g., LVM snapshots, fsfreeze) with equal detail as VSS for Windows.
- Include step-by-step Linux backup/restore automation workflows, not just generic references to 'pre/post scripts'.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
- Clarify any differences in agent/extension installation and configuration for Linux VMs.
- Add troubleshooting and best practices sections specific to Linux environments.
