Summary
The documentation provides both Azure portal and Azure CLI instructions for backup and restore, which are cross-platform. However, there are several subtle Windows biases: Windows file paths and environment variables (e.g., %HOME%, D:\home\site\wwwroot) are used in examples and explanations, and Kudu DebugConsole is referenced with Windows-style paths. FTP upload instructions and screenshots also use Windows paths. The mention of Azure PowerShell as a scripting option is present, but no Linux shell (bash) or macOS-specific scripting samples are referenced. Windows file system patterns and terminology are used before Linux equivalents, and Linux paths are only briefly mentioned in a table. Overall, Linux/macOS users can complete the tasks, but the documentation is somewhat Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux/macOS file path examples (e.g., /home/site/wwwroot) alongside Windows paths in all relevant sections.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI works on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and provide bash shell scripting samples where PowerShell is referenced.
  • Add screenshots or instructions showing Linux/macOS directory structures and tools (e.g., using SCP or SFTP instead of FTP for uploading files).
  • When referencing Kudu DebugConsole, clarify that it is accessible from any OS and show both Windows and Linux path conventions.
  • In tables and explanations, list Linux/macOS information before or alongside Windows information to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
