Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. It repeatedly references Windows-specific components (such as the AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension, NT Service accounts, and Windows-only troubleshooting scripts), and links to Windows-centric prerequisites (like the VM Agent documentation for Windows). There are no explicit instructions, examples, or troubleshooting guidance for Linux-based SQL Server VMs. All examples, screenshots, and operational details assume a Windows environment, and Linux alternatives are not mentioned or linked.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for Linux SQL Server VMs, including prerequisites, extension installation, and backup configuration steps.
- Reference the Azure VM Agent documentation for Linux alongside the Windows version.
- Provide parity in troubleshooting tools/scripts for Linux environments, or clarify their availability.
- Clarify which steps, extensions, and features are Windows-only, and offer Linux equivalents or workarounds where possible.
- Include notes or sections addressing differences in service accounts, permissions, and backup extension behavior for Linux VMs.
