Summary:
The documentation assumes SQL Server is running on Windows, with no mention of Linux-based SQL Server deployments. There are no examples or guidance for Linux environments, and all references to backup extensions, registration, and failover implicitly target Windows VMs. The lack of Linux-specific instructions or parity in tooling and process indicates a Windows-first, Windows-only bias.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether the described Azure Backup features and processes support SQL Server on Linux, and clarify any limitations.
- Provide parallel instructions and examples for SQL Server Always On AGs running on Linux VMs, including registration, backup, and failover processes.
- Mention and document any differences in backup extension installation, configuration, and management for Linux-based SQL Server nodes.
- Include troubleshooting steps and error codes relevant to Linux environments.
- If Linux is not supported, clearly state this at the beginning of the documentation to set expectations.
