Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias in several ways: Windows operating systems are listed first and in greater detail than Linux equivalents; Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as registry edits, firewall configuration via GUI, and references to Windows command prompt) are described with step-by-step instructions, while Linux instructions are more generic and lack concrete command examples. There are references to Windows-specific features (e.g., Volume Shadow Copy Service) without Linux alternatives, and screenshots and walkthroughs often use Windows-centric terminology and UI. Linux instructions are present but less detailed, and there are missing Linux command-line examples for key steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux command-line examples for all steps where Windows commands are shown (e.g., registry edits, firewall configuration, service restarts).
  • List supported operating systems in alphabetical order or group by type, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Include Linux equivalents for Windows-specific features (e.g., mention Linux snapshot tools or application consistency mechanisms alongside VSS).
  • Add screenshots and walkthroughs using Linux environments where appropriate.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting and configuration guidance for both Windows and Linux, including error messages and remediation steps.
  • Explicitly mention any limitations or differences for Linux VMs in the replication and failover process.
