Summary:
The documentation provides both Linux (rsync) and Windows (robocopy) tool examples for file-based data migration, but consistently lists the Windows tool (robocopy) after the Linux tool (rsync). However, there is a subtle bias in the detailed linking and explanation for robocopy (linking to Windows Server docs), and the overall documentation structure and language is more familiar to Windows administrators (e.g., references to SMB, robocopy, and Azure-specific tools). There are no explicit Linux command examples or step-by-step instructions, and PowerShell/Windows terminology is more prevalent. There is also a lack of parity in providing detailed Linux/NFS migration examples or links to Linux documentation.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/NFS migration examples, including sample rsync commands and links to official rsync documentation or Linux man pages.
- Balance the documentation by including both Windows (robocopy) and Linux (rsync) examples side by side, with equal detail and prominence.
- Include references to Linux-native tools (such as scp, cp, or tar) where appropriate, and provide links to their documentation.
- Avoid assuming Windows/PowerShell familiarity by explaining SMB and NFS concepts equally, and by not prioritizing Windows terminology.
- Add a section or table comparing migration tools for both Linux and Windows environments, with pros, cons, and usage scenarios.
