Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. It exclusively references Data Protection Manager (DPM), a Windows-only backup tool, and all examples, screenshots, and instructions are based on Windows Server and SQL Server running on Windows. There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor are there any examples or guidance for backing up SQL Server on Linux. The only automation reference is to PowerShell, which is primarily a Windows tool.
Recommendations
- Add guidance and examples for backing up SQL Server running on Linux, including supported scenarios and limitations.
- Include alternative backup tools or workflows for Linux environments, such as Azure Backup integration with Linux agents or native SQL Server backup commands.
- Provide parity in automation examples, such as Bash scripts or CLI commands, alongside PowerShell.
- Clearly indicate in the prerequisites and introduction that the documented workflow is specific to Windows/DPM, and link to Linux-specific documentation if available.
- Mention Azure Backup support for SQL Server on Linux, if applicable, or clarify limitations.
