Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, instructions, and credential requirements are specific to Windows guest OS, with explicit statements that Linux guest OS restore is not supported. Windows tools, patterns (e.g., UNC paths, administrator account requirements), and terminology are used exclusively, with no Linux equivalents or guidance. Linux users are only told they can manually restore files after attaching a VMDK, with no further detail or parity in workflow.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions or examples for manual file restore from Linux guest OS after VMDK attachment, including recommended tools (e.g., mount, guestmount, etc.).
- Clarify limitations and provide guidance for Linux users, such as steps to mount VMDK on a Linux system and copy files.
- Where possible, support automated or wizard-based file restore for Linux guest OS, or document alternative workflows.
- Include credential and access patterns relevant to Linux (e.g., root, sudo, SSH keys) alongside Windows examples.
- Avoid language that implies Windows is the only supported or primary platform; clearly state platform limitations and roadmap for Linux support.
