Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas: Windows-specific tools (VSS) and workflows are described in greater detail and are mentioned before Linux equivalents. PowerShell is referenced for restore operations, but no CLI or Linux-native automation examples are provided. Linux backup consistency relies on custom scripting, but no example scripts or detailed guidance are included, unlike the explicit Windows VSS integration. Overall, Linux users receive less actionable guidance and fewer concrete examples.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux CLI and automation examples wherever PowerShell is referenced (e.g., for restoring VMs with managed disks).
- Include example pre/post scripts for common Linux workloads to help users achieve application-consistent backups.
- Mention Linux tools (e.g., fsfreeze, LVM snapshots) explicitly and describe their role in the backup process, similar to how VSS is described for Windows.
- Ensure that Linux guidance is as detailed and actionable as Windows guidance, including troubleshooting steps and best practices.
- When listing options or processes, present Windows and Linux approaches side by side, rather than always listing Windows first.
