Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and all scripting examples are in PowerShell and Azure CLI, with no Linux shell or bash-specific examples. Windows-specific terminology (e.g., C: drive, BitLocker) is mentioned before Linux equivalents (e.g., root filesystem, dm-crypt). There are no explicit bash or Linux shell command examples for managing selective disk backup, and the only Linux-specific guidance is limited to ensuring the presence of 'lsblk' and 'lsscsi' tools. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tools and patterns, and Linux is treated as an afterthought in several sections.
Recommendations:
  • Add bash/Linux shell command examples for all CLI operations, demonstrating usage in a typical Linux environment (e.g., using variables, jq for parsing output, etc.).
  • When discussing OS-specific details (e.g., used space calculation), present Linux and Windows information in parallel, not Windows first.
  • Include troubleshooting steps and examples specific to common Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) for disk enumeration and backup validation.
  • Expand the section on required Linux tools (lsblk, lsscsi) with installation instructions for multiple distributions, and provide sample output to help users verify correct setup.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, explicitly note cross-platform availability or provide equivalent bash/Linux shell alternatives.
  • Ensure that any references to Windows tools (e.g., BitLocker, C: drive) are matched with Linux equivalents (e.g., dm-crypt, / root filesystem) in the same context and order.
