Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-centric migration tools (Robocopy), mentioning Windows Server as a primary source, and omitting Linux-specific migration examples or tools. While it states that SMB sources can be Windows, Linux, or NAS, all detailed steps, tool references, and migration alternatives focus on Windows environments. There are no Linux command-line examples, nor are Linux migration tools or patterns discussed.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit Linux migration examples, such as using Linux SMB mounts as sources and providing step-by-step instructions for Linux environments.
  • Reference Linux-native tools (e.g., smbclient, rsync over SMB) where appropriate, and compare their use to Windows tools like Robocopy.
  • Clarify agent deployment and registration steps for Linux-based VMs, including any OS-specific requirements or differences.
  • Add troubleshooting and verification steps tailored for Linux users, such as checking file permissions and metadata after migration.
  • Ensure that alternative migration methods (in 'See also') include Linux-relevant options, not just Windows tools.
