Summary
The documentation demonstrates a clear bias toward Windows environments. It exclusively references Windows-centric technologies such as DFSR and Active Directory, and all step-by-step examples and instructions are tailored for Windows servers. There are no Linux-specific examples or guidance, and Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first and exclusively throughout the document. Azure File Sync is described primarily in the context of Windows servers, with only passing mention that Azure file shares can be mounted by Linux or macOS clients.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for protecting Linux-based file servers using Azure Site Recovery, including step-by-step instructions.
- Include Linux-specific disaster recovery scenarios, such as using rsync, NFS, or native Linux file replication tools, and how these integrate with Azure Site Recovery.
- Provide parity in instructions for mounting Azure file shares on Linux (e.g., using SMB or NFS), including sample scripts and troubleshooting tips.
- Clarify which features and recommendations apply to Linux environments and highlight any limitations or differences.
- Where Windows tools (DFSR, Active Directory) are referenced, offer Linux equivalents or alternatives (e.g., Samba, LDAP, GlusterFS) and describe how to use them with Azure Site Recovery.
