Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (Robocopy, net use) are explained in detail with step-by-step instructions, screenshots, and command output. Linux instructions are minimal, limited to a single mount command for SMB, with no examples for copying files (e.g., rsync, cp) or error handling. The primary file copy tool discussed is Robocopy, which is Windows-only, and all detailed examples and performance tuning are focused on Robocopy. Linux users are left to infer their own copy procedures and best practices.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux/macOS file copy examples (e.g., rsync, cp, smbclient) alongside Robocopy, including command syntax and sample output.
- Include Linux/macOS-specific guidance for optimizing performance (e.g., rsync options, parallelization, mount options for performance).
- Add troubleshooting steps and screenshots for Linux/macOS environments, similar to the Windows section.
- Present Windows and Linux/macOS instructions in parallel or in clearly separated sections, rather than focusing on Windows first.
- Reference Linux/macOS documentation for SMB/NFS mounting and copying, and link to relevant tools.
