Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All workload examples, protection scenarios, and supported features are centered on Windows operating systems, Windows-based applications (SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint), and Windows file systems (NTFS, ReFS). Linux is only mentioned briefly as a guest VM, with limited support (entire VM backup only, no item-level recovery), and no Linux-native workloads or file systems are referenced. Windows tools and technologies (Volume Shadow Copy Service, NTFS, Windows Management Framework, Hyper-V, etc.) are discussed exclusively, with no Linux equivalents or parity.
Recommendations
- Add explicit support matrix entries for Linux workloads, including common distributions and versions, and clarify which features (e.g., item-level recovery, file system support) are available for Linux VMs.
- Provide examples and documentation for Linux file systems (e.g., ext4, xfs, btrfs) and clarify backup/recovery limitations or capabilities for these.
- Include Linux-native applications (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Apache, Nginx) in the protection matrix if supported, or explicitly state if not supported.
- Mention Linux backup tools or patterns (e.g., LVM snapshots, rsync, tar) where relevant, or clarify integration points.
- Ensure that Linux scenarios are described with equal detail and prominence as Windows scenarios, including item-level recovery, cluster support, and backup/restore workflows.
- If Linux support is intentionally limited, clearly state the limitations and provide guidance or alternatives for Linux users.
