Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: all operational examples and instructions assume a Windows environment, specifically referencing Windows paths (e.g., C:\Program Files), NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, and Windows-only tools like PsExec and SSMS. There are no instructions or examples for restoring SQL Server databases on Linux-based Azure VMs, nor any mention of Linux equivalents for the tools or procedures described. The documentation implicitly assumes SQL Server is running on Windows, and restoration steps are tailored to Windows patterns and tooling.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for restoring SQL Server databases on Linux-based Azure VMs, including file paths and service management commands relevant to Linux.
  • Provide Linux equivalents for Windows-only tools and procedures, such as alternatives to PsExec for privilege escalation and file access.
  • Include examples using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API) for restore operations, and clarify any differences in process or prerequisites for Linux VMs.
  • Mention and document how to use SQL Server tools available on Linux (e.g., sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio) for restore operations, alongside SSMS.
  • Ensure that references to file system paths, permissions, and service management cover both Windows and Linux conventions.
  • Clearly state at the beginning of the article whether the instructions apply to both Windows and Linux SQL Server deployments, and provide links to Linux-specific documentation if available.
