Summary
The documentation exhibits 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 solution) is presented as the primary hybrid backup method. There is no mention of Linux-native tools or workflows for hybrid backup, and the SMB protocol (Windows-native) is emphasized over NFS (Linux/UNIX-native) in feature tables and examples.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux/NFS backup and restore workflows, including examples for on-premises Linux servers using NFS and rsync.
- Include parity in hybrid backup guidance by referencing third-party or native Linux tools for synchronizing and backing up data to Azure Files.
- Balance the order of examples and tool references: present Azure CLI before or alongside PowerShell, and clarify cross-platform compatibility.
- Highlight NFS support and provide equivalent data protection and disaster recovery scenarios for Linux environments.
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, clearly state this and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
