Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for configuring selective disk backup and restore for Azure VMs. However, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence to the CLI, and there are no explicit Linux shell (bash) script examples. Windows-specific tools and terminology (e.g., BitLocker, drive C) are mentioned before their Linux equivalents (e.g., dm-crypt, root filesystem). The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows patterns and does not provide Linux-specific command-line walkthroughs or troubleshooting steps beyond mentioning required utilities (lsblk, lsscsi).
Recommendations
- Add explicit bash/shell script examples for Linux users, demonstrating equivalent operations to PowerShell (e.g., using az CLI in bash, scripting disk selection, etc.).
- Where Windows-specific tools or terminology are mentioned (e.g., BitLocker, drive C), ensure Linux equivalents (e.g., dm-crypt, root filesystem) are described with equal detail and prominence.
- Include troubleshooting steps and examples for common Linux distributions, such as how to install and verify lsblk and lsscsi, and how to interpret disk LUNs in Linux environments.
- Clarify that PowerShell is cross-platform, but provide guidance for Linux users who may prefer bash or other shells.
- Add screenshots or walkthroughs of the Azure portal experience from the perspective of a Linux VM, highlighting any differences or considerations.
