Summary
The documentation page is heavily focused on backing up SQL Server databases on Azure VMs using Windows-specific tools and patterns. It exclusively references the AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension, NT Service accounts, and Windows-based SQL Server VM configurations. There are no examples, instructions, or mentions of Linux-based SQL Server VMs or their backup processes. The documentation assumes a Windows environment throughout and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for backing up SQL Server databases running on Linux-based Azure VMs, if supported.
- Mention and document any Linux-specific extensions, agents, or service accounts required for backup operations.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI on Linux) alongside Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Clarify any differences in backup configuration steps between Windows and Linux SQL Server VMs.
- If Linux is not supported, state this clearly in the prerequisites or introduction to avoid confusion.
