Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server as the migration target and operational platform. All examples and instructions use Windows-native tools (Robocopy, Event Viewer), and there are no Linux/macOS equivalents or guidance for those environments. The migration workflow assumes the use of Windows Server for Azure File Sync, with no mention of Linux-based alternatives or cross-platform tooling.
Recommendations
- Clearly state at the beginning that Azure File Sync is a Windows Server-only feature, and that the migration workflow is designed for Windows environments.
- Where possible, provide guidance for Linux users on how to migrate NAS data to Azure Files (even if Azure File Sync is not supported), such as using rsync or azcopy for initial data transfer.
- Add a section outlining alternative workflows for organizations that do not have Windows Server, or link to documentation for migrating NAS data to Azure Files without Azure File Sync.
- Explicitly mention that tools like Robocopy and Event Viewer are Windows-only, and suggest Linux/macOS alternatives for file transfer and monitoring where applicable.
