Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools (such as Volume Shadow Copy Service and the Previous Versions tab), requiring PowerShell for configuration, and omitting Linux equivalents or examples. There is no mention of Linux server support, backup, or restore procedures, and all operational guidance assumes a Windows environment.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit guidance for Linux-based Azure File Sync agents if supported, or clarify platform limitations.
- Provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., using shell scripts or Linux-native backup tools) alongside PowerShell instructions.
- Reference Linux file system snapshot and backup solutions (such as LVM snapshots, rsync, or third-party Linux backup tools) where VSS is mentioned.
- Avoid assuming the use of Windows-only features (like the Previous Versions tab) without offering Linux alternatives or noting their absence.
- Clearly state platform support and any feature gaps between Windows and Linux in Azure File Sync scenarios.
