Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. It consistently references Windows-specific tools and extensions (e.g., AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension, NT Service accounts), links to Windows-only troubleshooting scripts, and omits explicit Linux instructions or examples. The VM agent link points to the Windows version, and there is no mention of Linux equivalents or guidance for SQL Server on Linux VMs. The documentation assumes SQL Server is running on Windows, with no consideration for Linux-based deployments.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for backing up SQL Server on Linux VMs, including any differences in agent installation, extension support, and service accounts.
- Provide troubleshooting scripts and connectivity test tools for Linux environments.
- Reference both Windows and Linux VM agent documentation.
- Clarify which features or steps are Windows-only, and offer Linux alternatives where possible.
- Include CLI and REST API examples for Linux users, and ensure parity in portal instructions.
