Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows-based SQL Server VMs. It exclusively references Windows-specific extensions (AzureBackupWindowsWorkload, SqlIaaSExtension), Windows service accounts (NT Service\AzureWLBackupPluginSvc), and does not mention or provide guidance for Linux-based SQL Server VMs. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or notes regarding parity or differences.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether the described backup process applies to Linux-based SQL Server VMs, and if not, provide a link or section for Linux instructions.
- Add examples and guidance for configuring Azure Backup on SQL Server running on Linux VMs, including any required extensions, service accounts, or differences in workflow.
- Clarify in prerequisites and throughout the documentation which steps/tools are Windows-only and provide Linux alternatives where possible.
- Include screenshots and step-by-step instructions for Linux scenarios if supported.
