Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page exhibits a subtle Windows bias. In example responses for recovery points, the 'osType' property is consistently set to 'Windows', and metadata such as <OsType>Windows</OsType> is shown in sample payloads. There is no mention or example of Linux VMs or their restore scenarios, nor any Linux-specific considerations. Windows terminology and metadata are present, but Linux is not referenced, which may lead users to assume the process is Windows-centric or that Linux is unsupported.
Recommendations
  • Include example responses and request bodies for Linux VMs, showing 'osType': 'Linux' and relevant metadata.
  • Explicitly state that the REST API supports both Windows and Linux VMs, and note any differences in restore behavior or requirements.
  • Add a section or note describing Linux-specific restore considerations (e.g., handling SSH keys, disk formats, boot diagnostics).
  • Ensure parity in documentation by alternating or combining Windows and Linux examples where VM OS type is referenced.
  • Review linked documents to ensure Linux scenarios are equally represented.
