Summary
The glossary is generally cross-platform and workload-neutral, but there are some instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific technologies (e.g., VSS, DPM, MABS, MARS agent) are referenced without equal mention of Linux alternatives or parity, and Windows terminology (VSS) is explained before mentioning Linux equivalents. The 'Application consistent backup' entry references VSS first, then Linux scripts, and the VSS entry links only to Windows documentation. Some backup features and agents are described in a Windows-centric way, though this may reflect Azure Backup's current support matrix.
Recommendations
- Where Windows-specific technologies (e.g., VSS) are mentioned, clarify Linux equivalents or workflows (e.g., pre/post scripts, fsfreeze, etc.) and link to relevant Linux documentation.
- For entries like 'Application consistent backup', present Linux and Windows approaches with equal prominence.
- If backup agents or extensions are Windows-only, explicitly state this and, where possible, mention Linux support status or alternatives.
- Add references or links to Linux backup documentation or Azure Backup support for Linux workloads where applicable.
- Review glossary entries for implicit Windows-first ordering and rephrase to be platform-neutral where possible.
