Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing almost exclusively on Windows-centric technologies and workflows, such as DFSR, Active Directory, and Azure File Sync (which is described only for Windows servers). Examples, configuration steps, and references are all tailored to Windows environments, with no equivalent Linux file server disaster recovery guidance, tools, or examples. The SMB protocol is mentioned as cross-platform, but all operational instructions and sync endpoints are Windows-specific. Linux is mentioned only in passing, with no actionable content for Linux administrators.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for protecting Linux-based file servers using Azure Site Recovery, including supported replication methods and failover procedures.
- Include instructions for configuring Azure File Sync or alternative cloud sync solutions for Linux servers, or clarify limitations and recommend best practices for Linux environments.
- Provide parity in step-by-step walkthroughs for Linux file server disaster recovery scenarios, such as using NFS shares, rsync, or other Linux-native tools with Azure.
- Mention and link to relevant Azure documentation for Linux file server DR, and ensure Linux tools and patterns are presented alongside Windows equivalents.
- Clarify in tables and decision trees which recommendations apply to Linux, and add Linux-specific considerations where appropriate.
