Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively focusing on SQL Server (a Microsoft/Windows-centric database) and providing examples only for restoring SQL Server databases on Azure VMs. There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server VMs, nor are there examples or guidance for restoring databases on Linux VMs. All resource and instance names (e.g., mssqlserver, testSQLVM) imply Windows environments. No Linux-specific tools, patterns, or considerations are discussed, and the documentation does not clarify whether the steps apply to Linux-based SQL Server installations or other database engines.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether the documented procedures apply to both Windows and Linux-based SQL Server VMs, or clarify any differences.
- Provide examples and command lines for restoring SQL Server databases on Linux VMs, including any Linux-specific prerequisites or considerations (such as file paths, permissions, or service management).
- If supported, include guidance for restoring other database engines (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) on Linux VMs using Azure Backup, or clearly state the scope is limited to SQL Server.
- Use neutral resource and instance names (not just 'mssqlserver' or 'testSQLVM') or alternate between Windows and Linux examples.
- Mention any differences in file paths, service names, or post-restore steps that may be required on Linux versus Windows.
- Add troubleshooting tips or links for common Linux-specific restore issues (e.g., SELinux, file permissions, systemd service restarts).
