Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows. Azure PowerShell is given a dedicated section before Azure CLI, and Azure File Sync (a Windows-only tool) is presented as the default hybrid backup solution without mentioning Linux alternatives. There is no discussion of Linux-native backup or restore patterns, and the SMB protocol (primarily used by Windows) is emphasized over NFS (used by Linux/UNIX).
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and guidance for Linux administrators, such as using NFS shares and Linux-native tools for backup and restore.
- Present Azure CLI examples before or alongside PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and more familiar to Linux users.
- Mention the limitations of Azure File Sync for Linux and suggest alternative hybrid backup strategies for Linux file servers.
- Include references to Linux automation (e.g., Bash scripting, cron jobs) for managing Azure Files data protection.
- Clarify protocol support and provide parity in documentation for both SMB (Windows) and NFS (Linux/UNIX) scenarios.
