Summary
The glossary page shows a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific technologies (such as VSS, DPM, MABS, MARS agent) are described in detail or referenced directly, while Linux equivalents are either missing, less detailed, or only mentioned in passing (e.g., 'pre or post scripts for Linux'). Windows tools and concepts (like VSS, DPM, MABS) are referenced without Linux alternatives, and Windows terminology is often presented first or exclusively. There are no explicit Linux/macOS examples or tool references.
Recommendations
- Where Windows-specific tools or technologies (e.g., VSS, DPM, MABS, MARS agent) are mentioned, add equivalent Linux backup concepts or clarify Linux support (e.g., mention LVM snapshots, native Linux backup agents, or scripting approaches).
- In sections like 'Application consistent backup', provide equal detail for Linux (e.g., describe how application consistency is achieved on Linux, not just 'pre or post scripts').
- When referencing documentation for Windows tools, also link to Linux backup documentation or best practices where available.
- Avoid always listing Windows tools or concepts first; strive for parallel structure (e.g., 'VSS (Windows) or LVM snapshots (Linux)').
- Explicitly state when a feature is Windows-only, and, if possible, provide Linux alternatives or workarounds.
