Summary:
The documentation assumes the SQL Server instance is running on a Windows VM, as evidenced by the use of SQL Server (which is most commonly deployed on Windows in Azure VMs) and the use of resource/container names like 'mssqlserver' and 'testSQLVM'. There are no examples or notes addressing Linux-based SQL Server VMs, nor any mention of Linux-specific considerations, tools, or differences. All CLI examples use generic Azure CLI commands, but the context and naming conventions are Windows-centric, and there is no guidance for users managing SQL Server on Linux VMs.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether the instructions apply to both Windows and Linux SQL Server VMs, or clarify any limitations.
- Add a section or note describing any differences or prerequisites for managing SQL Server on Linux VMs (e.g., supported distributions, agent installation, firewall considerations).
- Provide at least one example using a Linux-based SQL Server VM, including naming conventions and any Linux-specific steps.
- If there are no differences, explicitly mention that the Azure CLI commands work identically for both Windows and Linux SQL Server VMs.
- Include links to documentation about running SQL Server on Linux in Azure VMs for further reference.

Flagged Code Snippets
Then use the [az backup protectable-item list](/cli/azure/backup/protectable-item#az-backup-protectable-item-list) cmdlet to list all the databases that have been discovered on your SQL instance. This list, however, excludes those databases on which backup has already been configured. Once the database to be backed-up is discovered, refer to [Enable backup on SQL database](backup-azure-sql-backup-cli.md#enable-backup-on-the-sql-database).
