Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, instructions, and tooling references (SSMS, NT SERVICE accounts, PowerShell, Windows file paths, TaskManager, Security tab) are specific to Windows. There are no instructions or examples for Linux-based SQL Server VMs, nor any mention of Linux equivalents for permissions, file management, or automation. This creates significant friction for users running SQL Server on Linux in Azure VMs.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions and examples for configuring Azure Backup for SQL Server running on Linux VMs, including required permissions and service accounts.
- Provide Linux equivalents for file path references, service management (e.g., systemctl), and file permission changes (e.g., chmod/chown).
- Include bash or shell script examples for automating permission grants and backup configuration on Linux.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-only and offer alternative steps for Linux environments.
- Mention any limitations or differences in feature support between Windows and Linux SQL Server VMs.
