Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (Robocopy, File Explorer 'Previous Versions') are described in detail, with step-by-step instructions and screenshots, whereas Linux equivalents (such as mounting SMB snapshots or restoring from NFS snapshots) are covered in less detail and appear later in the document. Windows restore workflows are presented before Linux ones, and there are no examples for restoring individual files from SMB snapshots on Linux (only mounting is described). PowerShell is consistently presented as a primary automation tool, with no mention of Bash scripting or Linux-native automation. Windows-centric terminology and patterns (e.g., VSS, File Explorer) are used without Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples for restoring individual files from SMB snapshots, not just mounting.
- Include Bash scripting examples for snapshot management and automation, alongside PowerShell.
- Present Linux workflows (mounting, restoring, deleting) in parallel with Windows workflows, rather than after.
- Mention Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, cp) for copying/restoring files from mounted snapshots.
- Add screenshots or terminal output for Linux workflows to match the detail given to Windows examples.
- Clarify limitations and feature parity between Windows and Linux at the beginning of the document.
