Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing exclusively on SQL Server (a Microsoft/Windows-centric database) running on Azure VMs, with all examples and terminology tailored to SQL Server instances (e.g., 'mssqlserver', 'master'). There are no examples or guidance for restoring other database types (such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or even SQL Server on Linux VMs). The documentation assumes the use of SQL Server tools and patterns, and does not address Linux-specific considerations or provide parity for Linux-based SQL Server deployments.
Recommendations:
  • Include explicit examples and notes for restoring SQL Server databases running on Linux-based Azure VMs, highlighting any differences in process, file paths, or prerequisites.
  • Clarify whether the documented CLI commands and workflows are applicable to SQL Server on Linux VMs, and if not, provide Linux-specific instructions or call out limitations.
  • If Azure Backup supports other database engines (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) on Linux VMs, add sections or links to equivalent documentation for those scenarios.
  • When referencing file paths (e.g., '/home/sql/restoreasfiles'), clarify OS-specific conventions and provide both Windows and Linux path examples where relevant.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows tools or patterns (such as 'master' database, 'mssqlserver' instance names) without noting Linux differences or alternatives.
