Summary
The documentation provides parity for both Windows and Linux users in most areas, especially for core snapshot management tasks (create, list, delete) via Azure Portal, PowerShell, and CLI. However, there is a notable Windows-first bias in sections describing how to restore from SMB file share snapshots: Windows workflows (File Explorer, Previous Versions tab, Robocopy) are described in detail, while Linux equivalents are only briefly covered and lack depth (e.g., no example of restoring individual files from a mounted SMB snapshot on Linux). Windows-specific tools (Robocopy, File Explorer) are mentioned exclusively, and the Windows restore workflow is described before the Linux workflow. There are more detailed step-by-step instructions and screenshots for Windows users, while Linux instructions are more concise and lack troubleshooting or advanced usage notes.
Recommendations
  • Add detailed instructions and examples for restoring individual files from SMB snapshots on Linux, including common file operations (cp, rsync) and troubleshooting tips.
  • Include screenshots or terminal output for Linux workflows, similar to the Windows section.
  • Mention Linux file management tools (e.g., rsync, cp) for copying/restoring files from mounted SMB/NFS snapshots.
  • Ensure that Linux workflows are described with equal detail and prominence as Windows workflows.
  • Add a note about mounting SMB shares on macOS and any limitations or differences.
