Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on migration from Windows Server environments, with all examples, instructions, and tooling (such as Robocopy) tailored exclusively to Windows. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, and the migration path assumes the use of Windows Server as the source, with no mention of Linux tools or procedures for similar scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for migrating from Linux servers or NAS devices, including supported tools and procedures.
- Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples (e.g., using rsync or cp) for copying data to Data Box SMB shares.
- Clarify which Data Box features and Azure File Sync functionalities are available or limited when migrating from non-Windows platforms.
- Include a section or links to documentation for Linux/NAS migration scenarios, even if they require a different workflow.
- Avoid assuming Windows Server as the only source; mention alternatives and provide parity in documentation structure and detail.
