Summary
The glossary page exhibits a Windows bias through frequent references to Windows-specific technologies (VSS, DPM, MABS, MARS agent), and by listing Windows tools and documentation (Azure PowerShell, VSS) before or without Linux equivalents. Application consistency is described with VSS as the primary method, with Linux scripts mentioned only as an aside. There are no explicit Linux backup tools or patterns referenced, and examples or documentation links for Linux scenarios are missing.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific backup technologies and terminology (e.g., LVM snapshots, fsfreeze, native Linux backup agents) where relevant.
- When describing application consistency, provide equal detail for Linux methods (e.g., pre/post scripts, supported filesystems) and link to Linux documentation.
- Add references to Linux command-line tools (e.g., Azure CLI usage on Linux, shell scripts) alongside or before Windows tools.
- Ensure examples and documentation links are provided for both Windows and Linux scenarios, especially for agent installation, backup, and restore processes.
- Clarify which features or terms are cross-platform and which are Windows-only, to help Linux users understand applicability.
