Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows-based SQL Server VMs. It exclusively references Windows-specific extensions (AzureBackupWindowsWorkload, SqlIaaSExtension), Windows service accounts (NT Service\AzureWLBackupPluginSvc), and does not mention Linux-based SQL Server VMs or provide instructions/examples for them. There is no guidance for Linux SQL Server VMs, nor any indication that Linux is supported or unsupported, which may leave Linux users uncertain or unable to complete the task.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based SQL Server VMs are supported or unsupported for Azure Backup in this scenario.
- If Linux support exists, add equivalent instructions and screenshots for Linux SQL Server VMs, including any differences in extensions, service accounts, or configuration steps.
- If Linux is not supported, add a clear note at the top of the article to inform users.
- Where possible, use neutral terminology (e.g., 'SQL Server VM' instead of 'Windows VM') and avoid Windows-specific steps unless necessary.
- Provide links or references to Linux backup solutions if Azure Backup does not support Linux SQL Server VMs.
