Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently listing PowerShell examples before Azure CLI, referencing Windows-specific backup coordination tools (Volume Shadow Service, SQL Server), and omitting Linux-specific application-consistent backup strategies or examples. While Azure CLI is included (which is cross-platform), there are no explicit Linux shell script examples, nor is there guidance for Linux-specific backup coordination beyond a brief mention of fsfreeze. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tools and patterns, and does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of practical examples or tool recommendations.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux shell script examples alongside PowerShell, especially for Azure CLI usage.
- Expand the section on coordinated backups to include Linux application-consistent backup strategies (e.g., using LVM snapshots, database-specific tools like mysqldump or pg_dump).
- List Azure CLI examples before PowerShell to emphasize cross-platform usage.
- Offer guidance on using Linux-native tools for freezing and flushing volumes, and clarify differences between file-consistent and application-consistent backups on Linux.
- Reference common Linux workloads and their backup requirements, not just Windows applications like SQL Server.
