Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias, especially in the section on reinstalling the VMSnapshot backup extension. The Windows instructions are extensive, detailed, and include PowerShell cmdlets, registry edits, and use of Windows-specific tools (services.msc, regedit, command prompt). In contrast, the Linux instructions are minimal, lacking step-by-step guidance, troubleshooting, or parity in detail. Throughout the page, examples and screenshots are either Windows-centric or do not mention Linux alternatives, and Windows procedures are presented before Linux ones.
Recommendations
  • Provide equally detailed, step-by-step instructions for Linux VM extension management, including troubleshooting, verification steps, and relevant commands.
  • Include Linux shell commands for backup management where PowerShell is used for Windows.
  • Add screenshots or terminal output examples for Linux procedures, similar to those provided for Windows.
  • Mention Linux-specific tools and patterns (e.g., systemctl for service management, file system paths) alongside Windows tools.
  • Ensure that both Windows and Linux instructions are presented in parallel or with equal prominence, rather than Windows-first.
  • Clarify any differences in backup behavior or extension management between Windows and Linux VMs.
