Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a noticeable Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps and error resolutions frequently reference Windows-specific tools (such as Services.msc, Event Viewer, regedit, command prompt, and registry edits) and PowerShell cmdlets, often without providing equivalent Linux instructions or alternatives. Windows troubleshooting is often presented first or exclusively, while Linux guidance is limited to a few sections and is less detailed. Several error resolutions (e.g., VSS, COM+, BitLocker, registry edits) are only relevant to Windows, with no Linux context or parallel troubleshooting steps provided.
Recommendations:
- For every troubleshooting step or error code that references Windows tools (e.g., Services.msc, Event Viewer, regedit, registry keys, VSS, COM+), provide equivalent Linux commands or log file locations (e.g., systemctl, journalctl, syslog, Linux agent logs).
- Where PowerShell or Windows command prompt commands are given (e.g., net start, net stop, icacls, REG ADD), include corresponding Linux shell commands or configuration file edits, or explicitly state if not applicable.
- When referencing Windows-specific backup products or features (e.g., Windows Server Backup, BitLocker), clarify their Linux equivalents or note their absence.
- Ensure that Linux troubleshooting is not only present but given equal prominence and detail as Windows, including examples for common Linux distributions.
- Add more Linux-specific error scenarios and their resolutions, especially for agent installation, permissions, disk/mount issues, and backup extension failures.
- In summary tables and step-by-step guides, always provide both Windows and Linux paths, commands, and screenshots where appropriate.
- Review the order of presentation to avoid always listing Windows first; alternate or group by OS where possible.
