Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-centric tools and patterns such as Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), the Previous Versions tab, DFS-N, and PowerShell for configuration. There are no examples or guidance for Linux environments, nor are Linux backup or restore tools mentioned. The documentation assumes the on-premises server is Windows-based and does not address disaster recovery strategies for Linux servers or cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
- Include explicit guidance for Linux-based servers, such as supported backup and restore strategies for Linux endpoints.
- Provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., using rsync, cron, or native snapshot tools) alongside PowerShell instructions.
- Mention Linux-compatible Azure File Sync agent support and any limitations or differences in disaster recovery procedures.
- Reference Linux equivalents for features like VSS (e.g., LVM snapshots, btrfs/zfs snapshots) and clarify which features are Windows-only.
- Ensure parity in documentation structure by presenting Windows and Linux options side-by-side where possible.
