Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples, file paths, and troubleshooting steps reference Windows-specific tools, directories (e.g., C:\Program Files), and services (e.g., Control Panel, Local Security Policy). The extension required is named AzureBackupWindowsWorkload, and there is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server VMs or their backup processes. PowerShell is referenced as the automation tool for re-registration, with no mention of Bash or CLI alternatives. Antivirus exclusions, service accounts, and permissions are all described in a Windows context, with no Linux equivalents or guidance.
Recommendations:
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for SQL Server running on Linux VMs, including Linux file paths, service management, and extension installation.
  • Provide Linux-specific troubleshooting steps, such as how to check service status, configure permissions, and manage antivirus exclusions on Linux.
  • Include Bash/CLI commands alongside PowerShell for automation and scripting tasks.
  • Reference Linux equivalents for Windows tools (e.g., Control Panel, Local Security Policy) or note when a step is Windows-only.
  • Clarify in the introduction whether the documentation applies only to Windows VMs, or expand scope to cover Linux VMs if supported.
  • Where only Windows is supported, explicitly state this to avoid confusion for Linux users.
