Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias: Windows terminology, tools, and privileges (e.g., SeBackupPrivilege, Administrator/Backup Operators groups) are referenced in detail, while Linux equivalents are either omitted or only briefly mentioned. Linux-specific behaviors are described as exceptions or limitations (e.g., only Windows NT ACLs transferred, default ACLs not transferred on Linux), and there are no Linux command examples or tool recommendations. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows security concepts and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux tool examples (e.g., using smbclient, rsync, or cp with appropriate flags) for copying data and preserving metadata.
- Include Linux privilege requirements and equivalents to Windows concepts like SeBackupPrivilege (e.g., root or specific capabilities needed).
- Clarify what 'Windows NT ACLs' means in the context of Linux clients and how Linux users can verify or manage these ACLs.
- Add a section or table comparing Windows and Linux behaviors and limitations side-by-side for clarity.
- Ensure that Linux workflows are described with the same level of detail as Windows, including troubleshooting tips and error messages relevant to Linux environments.
