Summary
The glossary is generally cross-platform and workload-neutral, but there are some minor signs of Windows bias: Windows-specific tools (VSS, DPM, MABS, MARS Agent) are referenced without Linux equivalents, and the VSS (Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service) is mentioned before Linux alternatives in the 'Application consistent backup' entry. However, Linux is acknowledged in some places (e.g., mentioning pre/post scripts for Linux in backups), and most definitions are platform-agnostic.
Recommendations
- Where Windows-specific backup technologies (e.g., VSS) are mentioned, explicitly note Linux alternatives or clarify when Linux uses different mechanisms.
- For entries like 'Application consistent backup', provide a brief example or link for Linux backup consistency methods (e.g., fsfreeze, custom scripts).
- Add references to Linux backup tools or patterns where relevant (e.g., mention Azure Backup support for Linux VMs and how consistency is achieved).
- Ensure glossary entries for backup agents/tools (MARS, DPM, MABS) clarify their platform support and mention Linux equivalents or alternatives if available.
