Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively describing backup procedures for SQL Server on Azure VMs using Windows-specific tools and extensions (e.g., AzureBackupWindowsWorkload, NT Service accounts, SQLIaaSExtension). There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server VMs, nor are any Linux-specific instructions, tools, or caveats provided. The documentation implicitly assumes the SQL Server VM is running Windows, and Linux parity is not addressed.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether the described procedure applies only to Windows-based SQL Server VMs, or clarify support for Linux-based SQL Server VMs.
- If Linux-based SQL Server VMs are supported, provide parallel instructions, screenshots, and notes for configuring Azure Backup on Linux VMs.
- Document any differences in agent/extension installation, service accounts, and permissions for Linux VMs (e.g., use of systemd services, different backup extensions, or required user accounts).
- Include troubleshooting and FAQ sections specific to Linux-based SQL Server VMs.
- If Linux is not supported, clearly state this limitation at the beginning of the article to avoid confusion.
