Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. The detailed instructions for reinstalling the VMSnapshot backup extension are provided first and extensively for Windows, including PowerShell cmdlets, registry edits, and use of Windows-specific tools (services.msc, regedit, command prompt). In contrast, the Linux section is much shorter, lacks step-by-step guidance, and omits example commands for common operations (e.g., deleting directories, restarting agents). Throughout the page, examples and screenshots are Windows-centric, with little parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux instructions with equal detail and step-by-step guidance, including example shell commands for deleting extension directories, restarting the waagent, and verifying extension status.
- Include screenshots or terminal output examples for Linux operations where appropriate.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side or in parallel sections to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows.
- Where PowerShell or Windows tools are mentioned, also mention equivalent Linux commands and tools (e.g., Azure CLI, shell commands).
- Clarify any differences in backup management workflows between Windows and Linux VMs, and ensure both are covered in all relevant sections.
