Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (Robocopy, File Explorer 'Previous Versions') are described in detail, with step-by-step instructions and screenshots. Windows workflows for restoring files from snapshots are presented before Linux equivalents. PowerShell is featured prominently alongside Azure CLI, but Linux-native tools and workflows (other than mounting SMB/NFS shares) are less detailed. There is a lack of parity in examples for copying/restoring files from SMB snapshots on Linux; only mounting is covered, while restore/copy operations are shown in depth for Windows. Linux users are not given equivalent step-by-step guidance for browsing, restoring, or copying files from SMB share snapshots.
Recommendations
- Add detailed Linux examples for restoring/copying files from SMB share snapshots, including browsing snapshots and using standard Linux tools (e.g., cp, rsync) after mounting.
- Provide parity in screenshots and step-by-step instructions for Linux workflows, similar to those given for Windows (e.g., using Nautilus or command line to access previous versions).
- Mention Linux tools (e.g., smbclient, rsync) where Robocopy is referenced for Windows.
- Ensure that instructions for mounting and restoring from snapshots on Linux are as comprehensive as those for Windows, including troubleshooting tips.
- Consider presenting OS-specific workflows in parallel (side-by-side or in tabs), rather than listing Windows first.
