Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux guidance for Azure App Service backups, but there are several subtle Windows biases. Windows paths and environment variables (e.g., %HOME%, D:\home\site\wwwroot) are referenced first or exclusively in some sections. Kudu DebugConsole and FTP instructions use Windows-style paths. PowerShell is mentioned alongside Azure CLI, but Linux shell scripting is not. The documentation does mention Linux apps and containers, but Windows examples and terminology are often presented first or more prominently.
Recommendations
  • Where file paths are referenced (e.g., %HOME%, D:\home\site\wwwroot), add Linux equivalents (/home/site/wwwroot) and clarify for cross-platform users.
  • When describing access via Kudu DebugConsole or FTP, provide Linux path syntax and note differences for Linux-hosted apps.
  • In the 'Automate with scripts' section, add Bash/shell scripting examples or clarify that Azure CLI works equally well on Linux/macOS.
  • Review screenshots and instructions to ensure they are not Windows-centric, or add Linux-specific visuals where appropriate.
  • Where environment variables are referenced, explain both Windows (%HOME%) and Linux ($HOME) conventions.
