windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas. In the snapshot creation section, Windows (VSS) is described in detail before Linux, and the Linux process is described only in terms of requiring custom scripts, with no concrete example or guidance. Windows-specific tools (VSS) are mentioned by name, while the Linux equivalent ('freeze') is only briefly referenced in a note. There are no Linux command examples or detailed walkthroughs, whereas PowerShell is mentioned for restore operations. Overall, Linux users receive less actionable guidance and fewer concrete examples.
Recommendations:
- Provide concrete Linux examples for backup and restore operations, including sample pre/post scripts for common applications (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL).
- Mention Linux tools (such as 'fsfreeze', 'LVM snapshots', etc.) explicitly and describe their role in achieving consistency, similar to the VSS explanation for Windows.
- Balance the order of presentation: describe Linux and Windows processes in parallel, rather than always listing Windows first.
- Include Linux CLI (az CLI, bash) examples for backup and restore tasks, not just PowerShell.
- Offer troubleshooting guidance for Linux snapshot issues, similar to the linked Windows troubleshooting article.
