Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and workflows (such as Robocopy and the Previous Versions tab in File Explorer) are described in detail, with step-by-step instructions and screenshots. These Windows features are presented before Linux equivalents, and Linux-specific instructions are less detailed and appear later in the document. There is a lack of parity in example depth, especially for restoring SMB snapshots on Linux, where only mounting is described, not browsing or restoring files. Windows tools (Robocopy, File Explorer) are mentioned exclusively for local restore, while Linux alternatives are not discussed. PowerShell examples are present throughout, but Linux shell alternatives are limited to Azure CLI and basic mount/cp commands.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS-specific examples for restoring files from SMB snapshots, including browsing and copying files after mounting.
- Include parity in screenshots and step-by-step instructions for Linux workflows, similar to those provided for Windows.
- Mention and demonstrate Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, cp) for copying/restoring files from mounted SMB/NFS snapshots.
- Clarify which features (such as Previous Versions) are Windows-only, and suggest Linux/macOS alternatives where possible.
- Ensure that example order alternates or is grouped by platform, rather than consistently presenting Windows first.
