Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments: all instructions, screenshots, and examples assume SQL Server is running on Windows VMs. Steps reference Windows-specific tools (SSMS, NT SERVICE accounts, Windows file paths), and PowerShell is the only automation example provided. There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server VMs or guidance for Linux users, despite SQL Server on Linux being supported in Azure.
Recommendations
- Add a section or callout clarifying whether the Azure Backup solution supports SQL Server on Linux VMs, and if not, state this explicitly.
- If Linux is supported, provide parallel instructions for SQL Server on Linux VMs, including how to configure permissions, manage service accounts, and automate tasks using Bash or relevant Linux tools.
- Include Linux file path examples and explain differences in service account management between Windows and Linux.
- If some features (like the AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension) are Windows-only, clearly state this at the beginning of the article.
- Provide links to Linux-specific documentation or alternatives if full parity is not possible.
