Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. It exclusively describes and provides steps for restoring files from VMDKs on Windows guest OS, with no equivalent steps or examples for Linux guests. Linux is explicitly marked as unsupported for guest file restore, and only a manual workaround is mentioned. All credential and restore path examples are Windows-specific (e.g., UNC paths, 'Administrator' account). No Linux tools, commands, or patterns are referenced.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions or a separate section for restoring files from VMDKs attached to Linux guest OS, even if only manual methods are supported.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for mounting VMDKs and copying files (e.g., using 'mount', 'losetup', or 'guestmount').
- Include credential requirements and restore path examples relevant to Linux (e.g., using SSH, specifying Linux file paths).
- Clarify any feature gaps and, if possible, provide a roadmap or alternatives for Linux guest support.
- Avoid using only Windows terminology and tools (e.g., UNC paths, 'Administrator' account) in general instructions; provide Linux equivalents where possible.
