Summary
The glossary page demonstrates a Windows bias through frequent references to Windows-specific technologies (e.g., VSS, DPM, MARS agent, MABS), and by listing Windows tools and concepts (such as Azure PowerShell and VSS) before or without Linux equivalents. Where backup consistency is discussed, Windows VSS is mentioned first and in detail, while Linux is only briefly referenced as 'pre or post scripts.' There are no concrete Linux examples or references to Linux-native backup concepts, and most workload-specific backup solutions described are Microsoft/Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux backup examples and terminology, such as referencing Linux-native snapshot and backup tools (e.g., LVM snapshots, rsync, tar, etc.).
- When describing backup consistency, provide equal detail for Linux approaches (e.g., how application consistency is achieved on Linux, common patterns, and supported tools).
- Include Linux CLI commands and workflows alongside Azure PowerShell references, and ensure Azure CLI examples are not Windows-centric.
- Reference Linux-based backup agents or third-party tools where applicable, and clarify support for Linux workloads in Azure Backup.
- Avoid listing Windows tools or concepts before Linux equivalents, or provide both in parallel to ensure parity.
