Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by specifically recommending the use of Robocopy, a Windows-only file copy tool, for transferring data to Azure Data Box devices. There are no Linux-specific tools or examples mentioned, nor is there guidance for Linux or cross-platform environments. This may leave Linux users without clear instructions or tool recommendations.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux-friendly data copy tools such as rsync, cp, or dd in the documentation alongside Robocopy.
- Provide example commands for both Windows (Robocopy, PowerShell) and Linux (rsync, cp) environments.
- Explicitly state that Data Box devices support SMB/NFS protocols and can be accessed from Linux systems, if applicable.
- Add a section or note addressing cross-platform usage and best practices for Linux and macOS users.
- Ensure parity in tool recommendations and examples to make the documentation inclusive for all major operating systems.
