Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically focusing on Data Protection Manager (DPM), which is a Windows-only tool. All instructions, screenshots, and workflows assume the use of Windows Server, Windows-based SQL Server, and DPM. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor are alternative tools or methods for Linux environments mentioned. The only automation reference is to PowerShell, a Windows-centric scripting environment.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit mention of Linux support or limitations for SQL Server backup to Azure, clarifying whether DPM or equivalent solutions exist for Linux.
- Provide parallel instructions or references for backing up SQL Server on Linux (e.g., using Azure Backup Server, Azure CLI, or native SQL tools).
- Include examples and screenshots for Linux-based SQL Server environments, if supported.
- Reference cross-platform automation options (such as Azure CLI, REST API, or Bash scripts) alongside or instead of PowerShell.
- Clearly state in the prerequisites and introduction that the documented workflow is specific to Windows/DPM, and link to Linux-specific documentation if available.
