Summary
The glossary page demonstrates a Windows bias through frequent references to Windows-specific technologies (VSS, DPM, MABS, MARS agent), and by listing Windows tools and concepts (Azure PowerShell, VSS) before or without Linux equivalents. Application-consistent backup mentions VSS in detail, with Linux only briefly referenced as 'pre or post scripts.' There are no explicit Linux tool examples or parity in explanations for backup agents or system state backup. The documentation also references Azure PowerShell and Windows-specific backup methods more prominently than cross-platform or Linux-native approaches.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific backup technologies and terminology (e.g., LVM snapshots, fsfreeze, etc.) where relevant.
- Provide parity in explanations for backup agents and system state backup for Linux workloads (e.g., describe how system state backup is handled on Linux).
- Add explicit Linux CLI examples or references alongside Azure PowerShell and Windows tools.
- Where Windows tools or concepts are referenced (e.g., VSS, DPM), include Linux equivalents or clarify their applicability.
- Ensure that cross-platform tools (like Azure CLI) are given equal prominence and example coverage as Windows-centric tools.
