Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-specific tools and extensions (such as AzureBackupWindowsWorkload and NT Service accounts), and by not mentioning or providing instructions for Linux-based SQL Server VMs. There are no examples or guidance for backing up SQL Server running on Linux VMs, nor is there any discussion of Linux-specific requirements or differences.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state whether the documented process supports both Windows and Linux SQL Server VMs, or clarify if it is Windows-only.
  • If Linux SQL Server VMs are supported, provide parallel instructions and screenshots for Linux, including any differences in agent/extension installation, service accounts, and permissions.
  • Mention Linux-specific tools, extensions, or service accounts if applicable, or provide links to Linux backup documentation.
  • Add a section comparing Windows and Linux support, highlighting any limitations or differences.
  • Ensure that terminology and screenshots do not assume a Windows environment unless it is a documented prerequisite.
