Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples, instructions, and screenshots assume SQL Server is running on Windows. Only Windows authentication, Windows service accounts (NT SERVICE, NT AUTHORITY), Windows file paths, and Windows tools (SSMS, PowerShell, Task Manager, SMB shares) are referenced. There are no instructions, examples, or notes for running SQL Server on Linux VMs, nor for using Linux-native tools or authentication methods.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit guidance and examples for SQL Server on Linux VMs, including any differences in agent installation, permissions, and backup configuration.
- Include Linux command-line equivalents (e.g., using sqlcmd, systemctl, chown/chmod for permissions) alongside PowerShell and SSMS instructions.
- Document how to configure service accounts or required permissions on Linux (e.g., using system users or sudoers) instead of only referencing Windows service accounts.
- Provide Linux file path examples and instructions for configuring local backup folders and permissions.
- Clarify any limitations or differences in Azure Backup support for SQL Server on Linux, and link to relevant Linux-specific documentation if available.
- Ensure that REST API and portal instructions are platform-agnostic or note any platform-specific steps.
