Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. It exclusively describes migration using RoboCopy, a Windows-only tool, and all instructions, examples, and troubleshooting are tailored for Windows systems. There are no Linux-based migration examples or equivalent tools mentioned, despite the initial claim that sources can include Linux servers. The mounting instructions, command syntax, and optimization tips are all Windows-specific, and there is no guidance for performing similar migrations from or on Linux systems.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent migration instructions for Linux environments, such as using rsync, smbclient, or other Linux-compatible SMB tools.
- Include Linux command-line examples for mounting Azure file shares (e.g., using mount.cifs or smbclient).
- Discuss Linux-based migration scenarios, including any limitations or differences compared to RoboCopy.
- Mention cross-platform tools (such as AzCopy, if/when feature parity is sufficient) and provide guidance for both Windows and Linux users.
- Structure the documentation so that Windows and Linux instructions are presented in parallel or clearly separated sections, rather than focusing solely on Windows.
- Clarify in the introduction that the article is Windows-specific, or link to a separate Linux migration guide if available.
