Summary
The documentation is focused exclusively on restoring SQL Server databases in Azure VMs using the REST API, but all examples and references assume Windows-based SQL Server instances. Paths in request bodies use Windows-style (e.g., C:\SQLfiles\Default.ldf), and there is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server VMs or their directory conventions. No Linux/macOS-specific guidance or examples are provided, and Windows patterns (such as drive letters and backslashes) are used throughout.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for restoring SQL Server databases on Linux-based Azure VMs, including differences in file paths, directory structures, and any REST API nuances.
- Provide example request bodies using Linux-style paths (e.g., /var/opt/mssql/data/Default.ldf) alongside Windows examples.
- Clarify whether the REST API supports both Windows and Linux SQL Server VMs, and document any limitations or required settings for Linux.
- Include a note or section on how to adapt the process for Linux/macOS users, especially for file system operations and alternate directory mappings.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting and next steps for both Windows and Linux environments.
