Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. All detailed examples focus exclusively on Windows VMs, specifically referencing Windows file paths (C:\, D:\, etc.), Windows-specific files (pagefile.sys), and Windows-based applications (Microsoft SQL Server). Instructions for disk management reference Windows tools (diskmgmt.msc, service console, command prompt), with no mention of Linux equivalents. There are no examples or walkthroughs for excluding disks on Linux VMs, nor are there any Linux-specific considerations or commands provided.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples for Linux VMs, such as excluding swap partitions or temp directories (e.g., /swap, /tmp, /var/tmp) from replication.
- Include Linux-specific disk management instructions, such as using lsblk, parted, or fdisk for disk operations, and systemctl for service management.
- Provide SQL Server on Linux scenarios, including how to handle tempdb or other database files on Linux-based SQL Server VMs.
- Reference Linux file system paths and conventions (e.g., /mnt/data, /var/lib/mysql) in examples and tables.
- Where Windows tools are mentioned (e.g., diskmgmt.msc, command prompt), provide the Linux equivalent commands or utilities.
- Ensure that tables and limitations sections explicitly address both Windows and Linux VMs, highlighting any differences in behavior or support.
