Summary
The documentation page focuses exclusively on backing up SQL Server databases on Azure VMs using Windows-specific tools and extensions. It references the AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension, NT Service accounts, and SQLIaaSExtension, all of which are Windows-centric. There are no examples, instructions, or mentions of Linux-based SQL Server VMs, nor any Linux-specific backup tools or patterns. The documentation implicitly assumes the SQL Server VM is running Windows, and does not address Linux parity.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for backing up SQL Server databases on Linux-based Azure VMs.
- Document any differences in backup tooling, extensions, or service accounts for Linux SQL Server VMs.
- If Azure Backup does not support Linux SQL Server VMs, state this clearly and provide alternative solutions or workarounds.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., using Azure CLI, shell scripts) where relevant.
- Mention any Linux-specific prerequisites or configuration steps alongside Windows instructions.
