 >[!NOTE]
+>- Note that the Linux OS versions being used should not be in a "deprecated", "limited extended support" or "End-of-life" stages by their respective vendors. Any versions entering the mentioned stages by their vendors will also subsequently get "out of support" from Azure Backup.
 >- Azure Backup doesn’t automatically adjust for daylight saving time changes when backing up an SAP ASE (Sybase) database running in an Azure VM. We recommend you to modify the policy manually as needed.
 >- You can now monitor the backup and restore jobs (to the same machine) triggered from ASE native clients (SAP ASE Studio/Cockpit/DBA Cockpit) in the Azure portal.
