Summary
The documentation exclusively describes backup of SQL Server databases on Azure VMs using Windows-centric tooling and patterns. It references the installation of the AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension, creation of a Windows service account (NT Service\AzureWLBackupPluginSvc), and relies on the SQLIaaSExtension—all of which are Windows-specific. There are no examples, instructions, or notes for Linux-based SQL Server VMs, nor is there any mention of Linux support or alternative procedures for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based SQL Server VMs are supported or not for Azure Backup.
- If Linux support exists, provide parallel instructions and screenshots for Linux VMs, including any differences in extension installation, service account creation, and backup configuration.
- If Linux is not supported, add a clear note at the beginning of the tutorial to inform users.
- Include CLI or script-based examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) for Linux users where applicable.
- Reference Linux-specific documentation or alternatives if Azure Backup for SQL Server on Linux is not available.
