Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All instructions, examples, and credential requirements are specific to Windows guest OS, with explicit statements that Linux guest OS restore is not supported. Windows tools and patterns (such as UNC paths, administrator accounts, and NTFS/FAT file systems) are mentioned exclusively, with no Linux equivalents or examples provided. The only mention of Linux is to state that restore is unsupported, and manual restore is required without guidance.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions or examples for manual restore from Linux guest OS, including recommended tools and steps.
- Clarify limitations and provide guidance for Linux users, such as how to attach VMDKs and access files using Linux utilities (e.g., mount, guestmount, etc.).
- Include parity tables or feature comparison between Windows and Linux guest OS restore capabilities.
- If possible, expand support to include Linux guest OS restore operations, or provide links to alternative solutions for Linux environments.
- Avoid language that implies Windows is the only use case; acknowledge and address Linux administrator needs.
