Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific backup mechanisms (VSS) are described in detail, with Windows examples and terminology (VSS, PowerShell) presented before Linux equivalents. Linux instructions are less detailed, referencing custom scripts without concrete examples. PowerShell is mentioned for restore operations, but no Linux CLI or automation alternatives are provided. This may create friction for Linux users seeking parity in guidance and tooling.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux CLI (az CLI, Bash) examples alongside PowerShell for backup and restore automation.
- Include detailed Linux backup workflow examples, such as sample pre/post scripts for application consistency.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel, rather than Windows-first.
- Reference Linux-native tools (e.g., fsfreeze) with usage examples, not just brief mentions.
- Clarify any differences in supported features or limitations between Windows and Linux VMs.
