Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All detailed examples and screenshots use Windows tools (Robocopy, File Explorer, DataBoxDiskSplitCopy.exe, DataBoxDiskValidation.cmd), and instructions are written for Windows environments. The Split Copy and Validation tools are explicitly stated to be available only for Windows, with no Linux equivalents or alternatives provided. There are no Linux-specific file copy or validation examples, and the only mention of Linux is a caution about CentOS being end-of-life and a brief note that Linux users must manually validate prerequisites, without guidance or examples.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux examples for copying data, such as using rsync, cp, or smbclient, including sample commands and output.
- Document Linux-compatible validation workflows, such as using sha256sum or md5sum for checksum generation and verification, with step-by-step instructions.
- If DataBoxDiskSplitCopy and DataBoxDiskValidation tools are not available for Linux, suggest open-source or cross-platform alternatives, or provide scripts that can be run on Linux.
- Include screenshots or terminal output from Linux environments to illustrate parity.
- List Linux tools and patterns alongside Windows tools, not only as a footnote or afterthought.
- Clarify any limitations or differences in workflow for Linux users, and provide troubleshooting guidance specific to Linux.
