Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias throughout the migration process. All file transfer examples and instructions rely exclusively on Windows Server and the RoboCopy tool, with no mention of Linux-based alternatives or guidance for environments where Windows is not available. Windows-specific tools, patterns, and terminology (e.g., mounting shares on Windows, using DFS-N, Windows Server QoS, and RoboCopy switches) are used exclusively or introduced before any Linux equivalents (which are absent). There are no examples or instructions for performing the migration from Linux systems, nor are Linux tools (such as rsync or smbclient) discussed.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel Linux-based migration instructions, including examples using rsync, smbclient, or other common Linux tools for copying data to DataBox SMB shares and Azure file shares.
- Include guidance on mounting Azure file shares from Linux (e.g., using cifs-utils or NFS where supported), with step-by-step commands.
- Provide sample scripts or command lines for Linux environments to perform both the initial bulk copy and the incremental/catch-up copy phases.
- Discuss authentication and authorization considerations for Linux clients, including integration with Kerberos, AD, or local credentials.
- Reference troubleshooting steps and performance tuning tips relevant to Linux-based file copy tools.
- Ensure that all phases (planning, copying, cut-over, troubleshooting) include Linux parity, not just Windows-centric approaches.
- Where Windows-specific features (like DFS-N or NTFS ACLs) are discussed, note Linux equivalents or workarounds, or clearly state any limitations.
