Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. Windows migration tools (RoboCopy, Azure File Sync, Storage Migration Service) are described in detail and recommended for most scenarios, with Windows Server versions listed first and more migration options provided for them. Linux migration is only briefly mentioned, with Azure Storage Mover as the sole recommended tool and no Linux-specific examples or guidance. Windows tools like RoboCopy and TreeSize are highlighted, while Linux equivalents are absent. The migration guides and tool tables prioritize Windows solutions, and Linux scenarios lack parity in guidance and examples.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific migration examples, such as using rsync, smbclient, or other native Linux tools for SMB migration.
- Provide detailed step-by-step guides for Linux SMB sources, similar to those given for Windows.
- Include Linux-friendly tools in the migration tool tables and discuss their file fidelity and limitations.
- Mention and link to Linux documentation and best practices for mounting Azure file shares and preserving metadata.
- Balance the order of presentation so Linux and Windows scenarios are given equal prominence.
