Summary
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias. Windows examples and tools (especially Robocopy and net use) are presented first and in much greater detail, with step-by-step instructions, screenshots, and sample outputs. Linux instructions are minimal, limited to a single mount command for SMB, with no examples for copying data (e.g., using cp, rsync, or smbclient), no troubleshooting, and no performance guidance. The only file copy tool discussed in detail is Robocopy, which is Windows-specific. There is no parity in Linux guidance for copying files, optimizing performance, or error handling.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux examples for all major steps, including mounting SMB shares, copying data (using cp, rsync, or smbclient), and verifying data integrity.
- Include performance optimization guidance for Linux file copy tools (e.g., rsync options, parallelization strategies).
- Add troubleshooting steps and sample outputs for Linux scenarios, similar to the Windows Robocopy output.
- Mention Linux tools and workflows alongside Windows tools, not after or as an afterthought.
- Ensure screenshots and UI guidance are not exclusively Windows-centric (e.g., show Linux file manager mounting shares).
- Where Robocopy is recommended, suggest Linux alternatives and link to their documentation.
