Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. Azure Backup for SQL Server in Azure VMs only supports Windows Server operating systems, with explicit statements that Linux is not supported. All examples and tooling references (such as PowerShell) are Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux equivalents or CLI support for backup configuration. This creates a significant barrier for Linux users, who cannot use the documented solution.
Recommendations
- Clearly indicate Linux support status at the top of the documentation.
- Provide alternative solutions or guidance for Linux-based SQL Server deployments (if available).
- Add a roadmap or link to feature requests for Linux support.
- Where possible, offer Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell, or clarify CLI limitations.
- If Linux support is planned, include expected timelines or preview features.
