Summary
The glossary page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows-specific technologies (such as VSS, DPM, MABS, and MARS Agent) are referenced without Linux equivalents or with Linux mentioned only as an afterthought. The 'Application consistent backup' entry foregrounds Windows VSS and only parenthetically mentions Linux scripts. Several backup features (bare metal backup, system state backup, item-level restore) are described in terms of Windows workloads. References to Azure PowerShell are present, but there is no mention of Linux-native tools or workflows. Linux backup scenarios and terminology are largely absent or treated as exceptions.
Recommendations
- For each Windows-specific technology or term (e.g., VSS, DPM, MABS, MARS Agent), add corresponding Linux equivalents or clarify Linux support (e.g., mention pre/post snapshot scripts, Linux backup agents, or open-source tools).
- In definitions like 'Application consistent backup', provide equal detail for Linux approaches (e.g., describe how pre/post scripts work, mention supported Linux distributions, and link to relevant documentation).
- Where backup features are described in a Windows-centric way (e.g., bare metal backup, system state backup), clarify Linux support or note if the feature is not available for Linux.
- Add references to Linux-native tools and workflows (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API usage from Linux, Linux backup agents) alongside or before Windows/PowerShell references.
- Ensure that examples and terminology are inclusive of both Windows and Linux workloads, or explicitly state any platform limitations.
