Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically using Data Protection Manager (DPM), which is a Windows-only tool. All examples, screenshots, and instructions assume the use of Windows Server, Windows-based SQL Server, and DPM management consoles. There are no references to 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 Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for backing up SQL Server running on Linux, including supported backup tools and workflows.
- Mention and provide parity for Linux-native backup tools and automation options (such as Bash scripts, cron jobs, or Azure CLI).
- Clarify whether Azure Backup supports SQL Server on Linux and, if so, document any differences or limitations.
- Include screenshots and walkthroughs for Linux environments where applicable.
- Reference cross-platform automation options (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API) alongside PowerShell.
- If DPM is not supported on Linux, suggest alternative Azure-native backup solutions for SQL Server on Linux.
