Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server as the source environment for Azure File Sync migrations with Azure Data Box. All examples, instructions, and migration paths assume the use of Windows Server (2012 R2 or newer) and Windows-native tools (Robocopy). There is no mention of Linux servers, Linux file systems, or Linux-compatible migration tools. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux environments, nor does it offer alternative guidance for non-Windows scenarios within this guide.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit statements clarifying the scope of the guide (e.g., 'This guide is for Windows Server environments only').
  • Provide links to equivalent Linux migration guides or create a parallel guide for Linux/NAS environments using Azure Data Box.
  • Include examples or references for Linux-compatible file copy tools (such as rsync, cp, or Azure CLI) where applicable.
  • Mention limitations or unsupported scenarios for Linux servers in the introduction and migration overview.
  • Ensure that migration overview and scenario selection sections clearly direct Linux/NAS users to appropriate resources.
