Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing configuration examples and required values that are either Windows-centric or omit explicit Linux guidance. For instance, the Microsoft SQL Server section uses Windows-style file paths (e.g., 'C:\MSSQL_BKP\') and connection strings, but does not mention Linux alternatives. There are no explicit Linux shell or environment examples, and authentication file creation is described using Azure Cloud Shell, which is cross-platform but lacks Linux-specific context. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux environments, especially for SQL Server or general configuration file locations.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit Linux examples for configuration, such as file paths using Linux conventions (e.g., '/var/opt/mssql_bkp/').
  • For Microsoft SQL Server, provide connection string and metaDataFileLocation examples for Linux installations.
  • Clarify that AzAcSnap and its configuration are supported on both Windows and Linux, and highlight any OS-specific considerations.
  • Mention Linux tools and commands where relevant, such as using bash, ssh, or Linux-based authentication file creation.
  • Ensure that all database types (Oracle, Db2, SAP HANA, SQL Server) have examples for both Windows and Linux environments, especially where file paths, shell commands, or authentication methods differ.
