Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing SQL Server (a Microsoft/Windows-centric database), using Windows-style resource and naming conventions (e.g., MSSQLSERVER, testSQLVM), and omitting any mention or example of restoring non-Windows SQL workloads (such as Linux-based SQL Server or other database engines). All examples and terminology assume a Windows VM and SQL Server instance, with no guidance for Linux VMs or alternative database platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for restoring SQL Server databases running on Linux Azure VMs, including any differences in CLI usage, file paths, or prerequisites.
  • Clarify whether the documented process applies to both Windows and Linux SQL Server deployments, and note any limitations or required steps for Linux.
  • Include examples using Linux-style file paths and VM naming conventions to demonstrate parity.
  • Mention support (or lack thereof) for other database engines (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) if applicable, or link to relevant documentation.
  • Where possible, use neutral terminology (e.g., 'SQL VM' instead of 'testSQLVM', '/home/sql/restoreasfiles' instead of Windows paths) and clarify platform-specific requirements.
