Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows guest OS, with all examples, credential requirements, and restore procedures tailored exclusively to Windows environments. Linux guest OS is explicitly stated as unsupported for restore operations, and no Linux-specific instructions, tools, or patterns are provided. The use of Windows-specific concepts (e.g., UNC paths, 'Administrator' account, NTFS/FAT file systems) further reinforces the Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Add parity support for Linux guest OS restore operations, or clarify roadmap/timeline for Linux support.
- If manual restore for Linux is possible, provide detailed instructions or examples for Linux VMs, including recommended tools (e.g., mounting VMDK on a Linux VM, file system compatibility, permissions).
- Include Linux-specific credential and access patterns, such as root or sudo users, and explain differences in restore workflows.
- Document limitations and workarounds for Linux environments more thoroughly, including any supported manual processes.
- Ensure future updates include Linux examples and guidance alongside Windows instructions to improve cross-platform parity.
