Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Windows workloads and tools are described in detail and appear first in all tables and sections. Linux support is limited to guest VMs, with no examples or details for native Linux workloads, file systems, or application backups. Windows-specific technologies (NTFS, VSS, ReFS, Windows domains, etc.) are referenced throughout, while Linux equivalents are not mentioned. Recovery options for Linux are limited and less granular than for Windows. There are no PowerShell examples, but the overall structure and content heavily favor Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit examples and documentation for protecting native Linux workloads (e.g., file-level backup, application backup for Linux-based apps like MySQL, PostgreSQL).
- Include Linux file system support details (e.g., ext4, xfs, btrfs) and clarify any limitations or requirements.
- Describe Linux-specific backup and recovery workflows, including agent installation and configuration on Linux systems.
- Provide parity in recovery options for Linux VMs (e.g., item-level/file-level recovery) or clearly state limitations and roadmap.
- Reference Linux authentication and domain/workgroup equivalents where Windows domains are discussed.
- List Linux tools or commands where Windows tools (e.g., VSS, NTFS, ReFS) are mentioned, or clarify that such features are unavailable.
- Reorganize tables and sections to give Linux workloads equal prominence, not always after Windows.
