Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Windows/robocopy instructions and detailed options first, with extensive explanation and scenarios. In contrast, Linux instructions are minimal, lacking detailed examples for copying metadata (ACLs, attributes, timestamps), and do not provide equivalent step-by-step guidance or command breakdowns. Linux tools for ACL preservation are only briefly mentioned, with no concrete usage examples.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux instructions and examples at parity with Windows, including step-by-step commands for copying both data and metadata (ACLs, attributes, timestamps).
- List Linux tools (e.g., rsync, getfacl/setfacl, smbcacls, cifsacl) and show how to use them to preserve metadata, with command breakdowns similar to the robocopy section.
- Present Windows and Linux sections in parallel, or alternate which platform is presented first, to avoid the impression of Windows being the primary or default environment.
- Include troubleshooting notes and caveats for Linux users, similar to those provided for Windows/robocopy.
- Link to official documentation for Linux tools, just as is done for robocopy.
