Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows-based SQL Server VMs. It exclusively references Windows-specific extensions (AzureBackupWindowsWorkload, SqlIaaSExtension), Windows service accounts (NT Service\AzureWLBackupPluginSvc), and does not mention Linux-based SQL Server VMs or provide any Linux-specific instructions, examples, or tool references. All screenshots and steps assume a Windows environment, and there is no guidance for users running SQL Server on Linux VMs.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and steps for backing up SQL Server running on Linux-based Azure VMs, including any differences in process, prerequisites, and supported features.
- Mention and document Linux-specific extensions or agents if available, or clarify if Azure Backup does not support Linux SQL Server VMs.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., using Azure CLI or REST API from a Linux shell) and screenshots from Linux environments where applicable.
- Clearly state Windows-only limitations at the beginning of the article if Linux is not supported, or provide links to Linux-specific documentation.
- Ensure parity in terminology and instructions for both Windows and Linux users, including service account setup, permissions, and backup/restore workflows.
