Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several areas: Windows paths and environment variables (e.g., %HOME%, D:\home\site\wwwroot) are referenced first and exclusively in backup filter instructions, with no Linux equivalents provided. Tools and workflows such as Kudu DebugConsole and FTP are described using Windows-centric terminology and paths. Examples for file exclusion and backup configuration use Windows-style paths and do not mention Linux alternatives. There are no explicit Linux command-line or file system examples, and instructions for Linux users are missing or only referenced generically. The documentation also references Windows-specific features (e.g., MySQL in-app for Web Apps (Windows)) before Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific examples for file paths (e.g., /home/site/wwwroot instead of D:\home\site\wwwroot) and environment variables ($HOME instead of %HOME%).
- Include instructions and screenshots for Linux-based App Service environments, especially for tasks like creating and uploading the _backup.filter file.
- Provide parity in tool references, such as mentioning Linux-compatible methods for file upload (e.g., SCP, SFTP, Azure CLI) alongside FTP and Kudu.
- Ensure that all examples and troubleshooting steps reference both Windows and Linux platforms, or clarify platform-specific differences.
- When mentioning features or limitations, list Linux and Windows options together, or alternate the order to avoid Windows-first presentation.
