Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically focusing on Data Protection Manager (DPM), a Windows-only backup tool. All examples, workflows, and screenshots are based on the DPM GUI, which is only available on Windows. There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server workloads, nor are there any instructions or examples for backing up SQL Server on Linux. The only automation reference is to PowerShell, a Windows-centric scripting environment.
Recommendations:
- Add a section or parallel documentation for backing up SQL Server on Linux to Azure, using supported tools (such as Azure CLI, azcopy, or native SQL tools).
- Explicitly state that DPM is a Windows-only tool and provide alternatives for Linux environments, such as Azure Backup integration with Linux or third-party solutions.
- Include command-line examples for Linux (bash, shell scripts) alongside PowerShell examples.
- Mention and link to documentation for cross-platform backup solutions where available.
- Ensure that automation and scripting guidance covers both PowerShell (Windows) and bash/CLI (Linux) scenarios.
