Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All migration steps assume the use of Windows Server as the on-premises sync target, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. Only Windows-native tools (Robocopy, Event Viewer) are referenced for file transfer and monitoring, and there are no Linux command examples or guidance for non-Windows environments. The workflow is designed around Windows Server and Azure File Sync, excluding Linux-based servers from the process.
Recommendations
- Add guidance for scenarios where the on-premises sync server is Linux-based, or clarify that Azure File Sync does not support Linux, and suggest alternative migration paths for Linux users.
- Provide equivalent Linux file copy commands (e.g., rsync, cp, or robocopy alternatives) for copying data to Data Box SMB shares.
- Mention and document how Linux administrators can interact with Data Box SMB shares, including mounting instructions and best practices.
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, explicitly state this limitation early in the documentation and link to Linux-compatible Azure migration solutions (such as AzCopy, Azure Storage Mover, or third-party tools).
- Include troubleshooting steps and monitoring guidance for Linux environments, if supported, or provide links to relevant Linux migration documentation.
