Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: it consistently references Windows-specific components (e.g., AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension, NT Service accounts), links to Windows-only troubleshooting scripts, and omits any mention of Linux-based SQL Server VMs or their backup procedures. All examples, instructions, and screenshots assume a Windows environment, with no guidance for Linux users. The documentation also references Windows tools and patterns (such as service accounts and extensions) without Linux equivalents or alternatives.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based SQL Server VMs are supported or not, and provide guidance for Linux users if supported.
- Include examples, troubleshooting steps, and scripts for Linux environments (e.g., Bash, systemd services, Linux VM agent).
- Reference and link to Linux-specific documentation, tools, and extensions where applicable.
- Clarify any differences in backup configuration, agent installation, and permissions for Linux SQL Server VMs.
- Provide parity in screenshots and step-by-step instructions for both Windows and Linux scenarios.
- If certain features are Windows-only, clearly call this out and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
