🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example Windows First
Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS), which is a Windows-only tool. All instructions, screenshots, and workflows assume use of Windows Server and Windows-style management consoles, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives, nor any cross-platform command-line examples. There is no guidance for Linux-based SQL Server deployments or backup solutions, and Windows terminology (e.g., NTAuthority\System, blades, right-click) is used exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that MABS is Windows-only and provide guidance for Linux-based SQL Server deployments.
  • Add alternative instructions or links for backing up SQL Server on Linux (e.g., using Azure Backup agent, CLI, or third-party tools).
  • Include parity examples for Linux environments, such as command-line steps or references to Azure Backup for Linux.
  • Clarify prerequisites and limitations for non-Windows users at the top of the article.
  • Consider reordering or separating instructions so Linux users can quickly find relevant content.
