Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All command-line examples use Windows paths and the WAImportExport.exe tool, which is a Windows executable. There is no mention of Linux or cross-platform usage, no Linux shell or path examples, and no guidance for users on non-Windows systems. The documentation refers to 'Windows Azure Import/Export service' and uses Windows-centric terminology throughout.
Recommendations
  • Clarify whether the Azure Import/Export Tool is available for Linux or provide alternatives if it is not.
  • If a Linux version exists, include equivalent Linux shell command examples (e.g., using ./WAImportExport or mono).
  • Use cross-platform path examples or explicitly show both Windows (C:\path) and Linux (/home/user/path) formats.
  • Mention any prerequisites or limitations for Linux users, such as needing Wine or Mono to run the tool, or alternative tools/scripts.
  • Update terminology to refer to 'Azure Import/Export service' instead of 'Windows Azure Import/Export service' to avoid platform-specific branding.
  • Add a section or note for Linux/macOS users explaining their options for repairing export jobs.
