Summary
The documentation demonstrates several forms of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (Robocopy, File Explorer 'Previous Versions') are described in detail, with step-by-step instructions and screenshots, while equivalent Linux workflows (such as restoring files from SMB snapshots) are less detailed or missing. Windows methods for accessing and restoring from SMB snapshots are presented before Linux methods, and PowerShell examples are prominent throughout. There is no Linux example for restoring individual files from SMB snapshots (only mounting the snapshot), and Windows tools like Robocopy are mentioned without Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples for restoring individual files from SMB share snapshots, not just mounting the snapshot.
- Include Linux command-line tools (e.g., cp, rsync, smbclient) as alternatives to Robocopy for file copy operations from snapshots.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows methods are introduced together or in parallel, rather than Windows-first.
- Add screenshots or walkthroughs for Linux desktop environments (e.g., GNOME Files, Dolphin) if applicable, showing how to access SMB snapshots.
- Explicitly mention any limitations or differences in snapshot access between Windows and Linux at the start of relevant sections.
- Reduce reliance on PowerShell by including Bash and other shell examples where possible, especially for scripting and automation.
