Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (Robocopy, File Explorer 'Previous Versions') are described in detail, with step-by-step instructions and screenshots. These Windows workflows are presented before Linux equivalents, and some features (such as browsing snapshots via File Explorer) are only available on Windows. Linux instructions for mounting SMB snapshots are present but less detailed, and there are no Linux/macOS examples for restoring individual files from SMB snapshots outside of mounting. PowerShell is emphasized as a management tool, with limited mention of Linux-native alternatives. NFS snapshot workflows are Linux-focused, but overall, Windows users receive more comprehensive guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide parity in example depth and screenshots for Linux workflows, especially for SMB shares (e.g., show how to restore individual files from a mounted snapshot using Linux file managers or command line).
- Include macOS-specific instructions for accessing SMB snapshots, if supported.
- Mention and provide examples for Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, cp) for copying/restoring files from SMB snapshots.
- Clarify feature availability and limitations for each platform in a dedicated section.
- Avoid presenting Windows workflows before Linux equivalents unless there is a technical reason.
