Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically focusing on Data Protection Manager (DPM), a Windows-only backup solution. All examples, screenshots, and instructions assume the use of Windows Server, SQL Server on Windows, and DPM management consoles. There are no references to Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor are there examples or guidance for backing up SQL Server running on Linux or using Linux-native tools. The only automation reference is to PowerShell, which is a Windows-centric scripting environment.
Recommendations
  • Include guidance and examples for backing up SQL Server running on Linux, using Azure Backup or other supported methods.
  • Mention and provide parity for Linux-native backup tools and workflows, such as using cron jobs, shell scripts, or native SQL Server backup commands on Linux.
  • Add screenshots and walkthroughs for Linux environments, including command-line instructions and configuration steps.
  • Reference automation options for Linux, such as Bash scripts or Azure CLI, in addition to PowerShell.
  • Clarify in the prerequisites and supported scenarios sections whether Linux-based SQL Server deployments are supported or not, and provide links to relevant documentation if available.
