Summary
The glossary page shows moderate Windows bias, primarily through frequent references to Windows-specific backup technologies (VSS, DPM, MABS, MARS agent), and by listing Windows tools (Azure PowerShell) before cross-platform alternatives (Azure CLI). Linux backup patterns are mentioned only briefly (e.g., 'pre or post scripts for Linux'), with no links or examples. Most workload-specific terms and backup agents described are Windows-centric, and the glossary lacks Linux/macOS-specific backup terminology or examples.
Recommendations
- Add glossary entries for Linux/macOS backup agents, patterns, and technologies (e.g., mention native Linux snapshot tools, Azure Backup support for Linux workloads).
- Provide links to Linux-specific documentation where relevant (e.g., how Azure Backup interacts with Linux VMs, file systems, and snapshot mechanisms).
- Ensure parity in examples and tool references, listing Azure CLI before or alongside Azure PowerShell, and clarifying cross-platform support.
- Expand explanations for Linux backup consistency (e.g., detail how pre/post scripts work, reference Linux backup best practices).
