Description
What is the Moodle feature that needs documenting?
Sometimes - e.g. MDL-70260, MDL-76572 - we need more details about what patch level is actually required for a DB Server in order to let Moodle work fine using its features.
In the past we were used to quote Tracker issues in the "See also" section but for this specific argument we should find a place to collect such information.
In detail, we need to highlight that using Microsoft SQL Server 2019 will require at least Cumulative Update Package 18 for SQL Server 2019 - KB5017593 to let Moodle Backup&Restore processes to properly work.
Note: since MS SQL is mostly Community supported we are not sure that a lower CU could work either.
HTH,
Matteo

Research direction
No target file is named, so first inspect the DB Server requirements documentation and existing “See also” sections to choose a suitable place. Document that Microsoft SQL Server 2019 requires Cumulative Update Package 18 (KB5017593) for Moodle Backup & Restore, and link the cited Tracker and Microsoft references.
