Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server as the source system, explicitly requiring Windows Server 2012 R2 or newer for Azure File Sync installation and migration. All migration steps, examples, and tooling (notably Robocopy) are Windows-specific, with no mention of Linux-based servers, Linux tools, or cross-platform alternatives. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, and the documentation assumes a Windows-centric environment throughout.
Recommendations:
- Add a section or callout clarifying support (or lack thereof) for Linux-based file servers and migration scenarios.
- If Azure File Sync does not support Linux, provide clear guidance and alternative migration paths for Linux/NAS users, linking to relevant documentation.
- Where file copy tools are discussed (e.g., Robocopy), mention Linux equivalents (such as rsync or scp) and explain their applicability or limitations in this context.
- Include a migration matrix or overview table at the start, indicating which OS/platforms are supported for each migration path.
- If possible, provide Linux-based examples or scripts for scenarios where Linux servers are involved, or explicitly state that this guide is Windows-only.
