Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed PowerShell examples before CLI examples, using Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell cmdlets and Windows time zone handling), and offering more comprehensive step-by-step guidance for PowerShell users. Linux-specific considerations, shell examples, or parity in depth of CLI instructions are missing.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Bash (Linux shell) examples alongside PowerShell for all command-line operations, especially for scripting and automation scenarios.
- Ensure CLI (az) examples are as detailed as PowerShell, including parameter explanations and sample JSON payloads for policy creation.
- Include notes or sections addressing any OS-specific prerequisites or differences, such as file path formats, environment variables, or scheduling nuances.
- If screenshots or UI steps are OS-agnostic, clarify this; otherwise, provide Linux desktop screenshots where appropriate.
- Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported, and highlight any differences in backup behavior or requirements.
- Add troubleshooting tips or links specific to Linux VM backup scenarios.
