Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias: Windows workloads and tools are described in detail and always appear first, with extensive coverage of Windows-specific features (NTFS, VSS, ReFS, deduplication, system state, bare metal, etc.). Linux is only mentioned as a VM guest, with no details on native Linux workload protection, agent installation, or file-level recovery. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., Volume Shadow Copy Service, NTFS, Windows Management Framework) are referenced exclusively, and there are no Linux command-line or configuration examples. Recovery options are consistently limited to Windows VMs/files, with Linux only supporting full-VM recovery.
Recommendations:
- Provide parity by including Linux-native workload protection details, such as supported distributions, file systems, and backup/recovery scenarios beyond VM-level.
- Add Linux-specific examples for agent installation, configuration, and recovery (e.g., command-line steps for popular distributions).
- Clarify limitations and alternatives for Linux environments (e.g., file-level recovery, application-aware backup for Linux workloads).
- Mention Linux tools and patterns where relevant (e.g., LVM snapshots, ext4/xfs support, Linux backup agents).
- Reorganize documentation to present Windows and Linux support side-by-side where possible, rather than relegating Linux to a separate, minimal section.
