Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively describing backup procedures for SQL Server on Azure VMs using Windows-specific tools and extensions (e.g., AzureBackupWindowsWorkload, NT Service accounts, SQLIaaSExtension). There are no references to Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor are Linux-specific instructions, examples, or tools mentioned. The documentation implicitly assumes the SQL Server VM is running Windows, with no guidance for users running SQL Server on Linux VMs.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples 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 backup extensions or agents, if available, or clarify limitations for Linux SQL Server VMs.
- Include screenshots and step-by-step instructions for Linux VM scenarios, or provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
- Clarify in the prerequisites section whether the instructions apply only to Windows VMs, and provide parity for Linux users where possible.
