Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns such as Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), the Previous Versions tab, DFS-N, and PowerShell for configuration. There are no examples or guidance for Linux servers, nor any mention of Linux-compatible backup or restore strategies. The documentation assumes the on-premises server is Windows-based and omits consideration for cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent Linux guidance for on-premises disaster recovery, such as using rsync, LVM snapshots, or other Linux-native backup tools.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for restoring data, configuring high availability, and managing file sync endpoints.
- Mention cross-platform compatibility and limitations explicitly, clarifying which features are Windows-only and suggesting alternatives for Linux environments.
- Add PowerShell alternatives (e.g., Bash scripts) for relevant configuration steps.
- Reference Linux file system attributes and backup/restore patterns where appropriate.
