[AccessD] SQL Server (Linux)

[Ryan W]

CentOS 7 and the QuickStart guide to add the repos and run the config was easy as pie. 

This would replace my aging sql server 2008 instance and we would still use our access FE. 

SSRS is not available under Linux and the transaction level backup option on veeam backup and replication doesn’t work on linux so I’m not sure if I’ll stick with it or not since I like periodic transaction log backups. I guess this is a Linux limitation for veeam at the moment
