Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by referencing Windows tools (Robocopy), mentioning Windows Server and Azure File Sync for Windows Server before Linux, and omitting Linux-specific migration tools or examples. While it states that SMB sources can be Windows, Linux, or NAS, all concrete examples, tool references, and alternative migration paths are Windows-centric. There are no Linux command-line examples, nor are Linux migration tools or patterns discussed.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux-specific migration tool references (e.g., rsync, smbclient) as alternatives to Robocopy.
- Provide example workflows or commands for migrating from Linux SMB shares, not just Windows.
- Mention Linux/NAS migration scenarios explicitly and equally alongside Windows scenarios.
- If Azure File Sync is only for Windows, clarify this and suggest Linux-friendly alternatives.
- Ensure that all steps (such as agent registration) include both Windows and Linux command-line examples where applicable.
