Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. Windows workloads, tools, and file systems are prioritized throughout, with detailed support matrices and recovery options for Windows environments. Linux support is limited to guest VMs, with only file-consistent snapshots and no item-level/file-level recovery. Windows-specific technologies (NTFS, VSS, ReFS, deduplication, FAT/FAT32, system state, bare metal recovery) are referenced exclusively, and Linux is only mentioned in a single, minimal section. There are no Linux-native backup scenarios or examples, and no mention of Linux file systems or tools.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-native backup scenarios, not just Linux as a guest VM.
- Include item-level/file-level recovery options for Linux VMs, or clearly state limitations and possible workarounds.
- Add examples and documentation for Linux file systems (e.g., ext4, XFS) and clarify their support status.
- Mention Linux tools and patterns where relevant, not just Windows-specific technologies like VSS, NTFS, ReFS.
- Ensure parity in documentation structure: for every Windows example or scenario, provide a Linux equivalent or explicitly state if unsupported.
- Clarify agent support and installation procedures for Linux workloads, not just Windows.
- Consider a dedicated section for Linux backup and recovery best practices, limitations, and troubleshooting.
