Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: it exclusively references Windows environments and tooling (e.g., AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension, NT Service accounts, Windows-specific connectivity test scripts), omits any mention of Linux-based SQL Server VMs or their backup requirements, and provides examples and troubleshooting steps only for Windows. The documentation assumes the use of Windows VMs throughout, with no parity for Linux SQL Server deployments.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for backing up SQL Server on Linux-based Azure VMs, including prerequisites and supported scenarios.
- Reference Linux equivalents for VM agents, backup extensions, and service accounts (e.g., systemd services, Linux backup agents).
- Provide troubleshooting scripts and tools for Linux environments (e.g., Bash scripts for connectivity tests).
- Clarify which steps and features are Windows-only, and offer alternative instructions for Linux where possible.
- Include links to documentation for SQL Server on Linux in Azure, and highlight any differences in backup configuration and management.
