Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. It exclusively describes migration from NAS to Windows Server, with all steps, examples, and tooling (RoboCopy, Azure File Sync agent) focused on Windows environments. There are no Linux or cross-platform migration examples, nor are Linux-compatible tools or procedures mentioned. The migration route requires a Windows Server as an intermediary, and all troubleshooting and configuration guidance assumes Windows. Linux alternatives (e.g., using rsync, NFS shares, or Azure CLI on Linux) are not discussed, and the only supported file share protocol is SMB, with NFS explicitly marked as unsupported.
Recommendations
- Add guidance for migrating NAS shares directly to Azure file shares without requiring Windows Server, where possible.
- Include Linux-based migration examples, such as using rsync, Azure CLI, or other cross-platform tools.
- Mention Linux-compatible tools and procedures for copying data from NAS to Azure, especially for environments where Windows Server is not available.
- Clarify whether Azure File Sync or similar functionality is available for Linux clients, or provide alternative hybrid cloud solutions for Linux/NFS environments.
- Provide troubleshooting steps and best practices for Linux-based migrations, including permissions and metadata handling.
- If Windows Server is a strict requirement, state this clearly at the beginning and link to Linux/NFS migration guides or alternatives.
