Summary
The documentation focuses exclusively on backing up SQL Server databases on Azure VMs using Windows-based tools and extensions. It references the installation of the AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension, the creation of a Windows service account (NT Service\AzureWLBackupPluginSvc), and the use of SQLIaaSExtension, all of which are Windows-specific. There are no examples, instructions, or mentions of Linux-based SQL Server VMs, nor any guidance for users running SQL Server on Linux. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment throughout.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for backing up SQL Server databases running on Linux-based Azure VMs.
- Document any differences in required extensions, permissions, or service accounts for Linux SQL Server VMs.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, systemctl) where relevant, alongside Windows/Powershell instructions.
- Clarify in prerequisites and throughout the tutorial whether the steps apply only to Windows VMs, and provide links or sections for Linux scenarios.
- Mention and describe any Linux-specific backup tools or patterns, such as using cron jobs or native Linux agents, if supported.
