Summary
The glossary page shows mild Windows bias, mainly through frequent references to Windows-specific backup tools (DPM, MABS, MARS Agent, VSS) and by listing Azure PowerShell before Azure CLI in the tooling section. The VSS (Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service) is described in detail, while Linux equivalents are only briefly mentioned (e.g., 'pre or post scripts for Linux'). Most backup concepts are platform-neutral, but workload-specific terms and examples lean toward Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Add explicit references to Linux backup mechanisms (e.g., LVM snapshots, fsfreeze, etc.) where VSS is mentioned.
- Provide links to Linux/macOS documentation or backup strategies for Azure workloads.
- Ensure parity in tool listing order (e.g., alternate Azure CLI and PowerShell, or group them together).
- Clarify which backup features/tools are cross-platform and which are Windows-only.
- Expand glossary entries for Linux/macOS backup scenarios, especially where Windows tools are highlighted.
