Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation exclusively describes using Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) and Data Protection Manager (DPM), both of which are Windows-only tools. All examples, screenshots, and workflows assume a Windows environment, with references to Windows-specific accounts (NTAuthority\System) and no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or parity notes, and the documentation implicitly assumes SQL Server is running on Windows.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state that MABS and DPM are Windows-only tools at the beginning of the documentation.
  • Provide guidance or links for backing up SQL Server on Linux (if supported by Azure Backup or other Microsoft tools), or clarify that Linux-based SQL Server instances are not supported by this workflow.
  • Include a comparison table or section outlining backup options for SQL Server on Linux, such as using Azure Backup agent, native SQL Server backup/restore commands, or third-party tools.
  • If possible, add Linux-specific examples or alternative workflows for organizations running SQL Server on Linux.
  • Mention any limitations or differences in backup support for SQL Server on Linux versus Windows.
