Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward SQL Server running on Windows VMs. It references Windows-specific extensions (AzureBackupWindowsWorkload, SqlIaaSExtension), service accounts (NT Service\AzureWLBackupPluginSvc), and does not mention Linux-based SQL Server VMs or provide Linux-specific instructions or parity. All examples and screenshots are for Windows environments, with no guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based SQL Server VMs are supported or not for this backup method.
- If Linux support exists, add equivalent instructions and screenshots for configuring backup on Linux SQL Server VMs.
- Mention and document any Linux-specific extensions, service accounts, or differences in the backup process.
- If only Windows is supported, clarify this early in the prerequisites section to avoid confusion for Linux users.
- Provide links or references to Linux backup solutions if Azure Backup does not support Linux SQL Server VMs.
