Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server as the migration target and exclusively describes migration steps using Windows-based tools (RoboCopy, Azure File Sync agent, Windows Server configuration). There are no Linux or cross-platform migration examples, and the workflow assumes the use of Windows infrastructure throughout. Windows tools and patterns (RoboCopy, DFS-Namespace, Active Directory) are mentioned without Linux equivalents or alternatives. The documentation does not provide guidance for scenarios where the migration target is a Linux server or where Linux-based tools might be preferred.
Recommendations
  • Add migration examples and workflows for Linux-based servers, including guidance for using Linux SMB clients and tools (e.g., rsync, smbclient, cifs-utils).
  • Mention and compare Linux-compatible migration tools (such as Azure Storage Mover CLI, azcopy, or rsync) alongside RoboCopy, and provide usage examples.
  • Clarify whether Azure File Sync can be used with Linux servers or provide alternative hybrid cloud solutions for Linux environments.
  • Include troubleshooting steps and best practices for Linux-based NAS appliances and migration targets.
  • Present both Windows and Linux options in parallel throughout the documentation, rather than assuming Windows as the default or only supported platform.
