Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-specific components and patterns. All instructions and background processes assume the SQL Server VM is running Windows, with references to Windows-only extensions (AzureBackupWindowsWorkload), service accounts (NT Service\AzureWLBackupPluginSvc), and permissions models. There are no examples, instructions, or notes for Linux-based SQL Server VMs, nor are Linux tools or patterns mentioned. The documentation does not acknowledge or support SQL Server on Linux, and all technical details are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for backing up SQL Server databases running on Linux-based Azure VMs, if supported.
  • Clarify whether the Azure Backup solution supports SQL Server on Linux VMs, and if not, provide alternative backup strategies or links to relevant documentation.
  • Mention Linux-specific requirements, such as service accounts, permissions, and extension installation steps, if applicable.
  • Include screenshots and walkthroughs for the Linux experience in the Azure portal or via CLI.
  • If only Windows is supported, state this clearly at the beginning of the tutorial to avoid confusion for Linux users.
