Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server as the migration target and operational platform. All examples, instructions, and tooling (e.g., Robocopy, Event Viewer) are Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux alternatives or cross-platform approaches. The migration workflow assumes the use of Windows Server for Azure File Sync, and Linux/NAS systems are only referenced as the source, not as possible targets or participants in the sync process.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that Azure File Sync currently only supports Windows Server, but provide guidance for Linux users on alternative migration strategies (e.g., using azcopy, rsync, or third-party tools).
- Include Linux-based examples for copying data to Data Box (e.g., using SMB/CIFS mounts and Linux copy tools).
- Mention and link to Azure Files NFS support and migration guides for Linux environments where applicable.
- Clarify the limitations for non-Windows environments early in the documentation, and suggest best practices for Linux/NAS admins.
- Where Robocopy is recommended, offer equivalent Linux commands (e.g., rsync) for copying data to Data Box SMB shares, if supported.
- Add troubleshooting tips for Linux users interacting with Data Box or Azure Files.
