Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically focusing on Data Protection Manager (DPM), which is a Windows-only tool. All instructions, screenshots, and terminology assume the use of Windows Server, Windows-based SQL Server, and Windows authentication patterns (e.g., NTAuthority\System). There are no examples, guidance, or mentions of Linux-based SQL Server deployments or equivalent backup workflows for Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Add a section or parallel documentation for backing up SQL Server running on Linux VMs or containers, using Azure Backup or other supported tools.
  • Explicitly state that DPM is a Windows-only solution and provide alternative recommendations for Linux users (e.g., Azure Backup integration with Linux, or using native SQL Server backup/restore commands with Azure Blob Storage).
  • Include examples and screenshots for Linux-based SQL Server environments, if supported, or clearly direct Linux users to relevant documentation.
  • Mention and link to cross-platform or Linux-native backup tools and workflows where applicable.
  • Ensure that prerequisite and limitation sections clarify OS support and provide parity guidance for non-Windows environments.
