Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically referencing Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS), which is a Windows-only tool. All instructions, terminology, and screenshots are based on the Windows GUI and Windows-specific concepts (e.g., NTAuthority\System, MMC-style wizards, 'blades', and right-click context menus). There are no examples, instructions, or even mentions of Linux-based SQL Server deployments or backup workflows, nor are any Linux command-line or tool alternatives provided.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state that MABS is a Windows-only solution and clarify support limitations for Linux-based SQL Server deployments.
  • If Azure Backup supports Linux SQL Server (even partially), provide equivalent instructions, examples, and screenshots for Linux environments, including command-line (bash) workflows.
  • Mention and link to any Azure-native or cross-platform backup solutions that support Linux SQL Server, or clarify if none exist.
  • Where possible, use neutral terminology (e.g., 'system account' instead of 'NTAuthority\System') and provide Linux equivalents (e.g., 'root' or relevant service accounts).
  • Add a section or note addressing Linux users, outlining their options or limitations for SQL Server backup on Azure Stack.
