Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with all examples, file paths, and troubleshooting steps referencing Windows-specific tools, directories, and services. The AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension and its usage are described only for Windows VMs, and all operational instructions (such as file placement, service accounts, and permissions) use Windows conventions. PowerShell is referenced for automation, and there are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or parity notes for users running SQL Server on Linux VMs.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for SQL Server on Linux VMs, including supported backup and restore workflows.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for file paths, service accounts, and extension installation.
- Include troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux environments (e.g., systemd services, SELinux, Linux antivirus exclusions).
- Clarify whether the AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension or similar functionality is available for Linux VMs, and if not, document alternatives.
- Offer PowerShell alternatives (such as Bash scripts or Azure CLI) for Linux users.
- Ensure parity in error message documentation, including Linux-specific causes and resolutions.
