Summary
The documentation for migrating on-premises NAS to Azure Files via DataBox is heavily Windows-centric. It exclusively recommends using Windows Server and RoboCopy for file transfer, omits Linux/macOS migration tooling and examples, and provides detailed guidance for Windows environments (such as mounting SMB shares and configuring DFS-N). Linux equivalents (e.g., rsync, smbclient, NFS migration) are not mentioned, and the instructions for mounting Azure file shares and running migration jobs are Windows-only.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/macOS migration instructions, including recommended tools (e.g., rsync, smbclient) for copying files from NAS to DataBox and from DataBox to Azure Files.
- Provide examples for mounting Azure file shares on Linux/macOS using SMB (e.g., mount.cifs) and NFS (where supported).
- Include troubleshooting tips for Linux/macOS environments, such as permissions, performance tuning, and compatibility notes.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-only and offer alternative workflows for non-Windows environments.
- Reference official Azure documentation for Linux/macOS clients where available.
