Error when trying to run a BMR backup: "DiskPart has encountered an error: The requested operation could not be completed due to a file system limitation"
Description

When running a Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) backup, the backup fails with an error similar to the following in the RMAD console:

"Unable to execute request (114). Diskpart operation failed. Microsoft DiskPart version 6.3.9600 Copyright (C) 1999-2013 Microsoft Corporation. On computer: <DCName> DiskPart has encountered an error: The requested operation could not be completed due to a file system limitation See the System Event Log for more information."
Cause

The backup path specified within the collection on the 'DC Storage' tab points to a Network File System (NFS) path (eg. server:/directory1/directory2). The path must be a SMB path (eg. \\server\share) for BMR backups
Resolution

Change the path specified for the BMR backup to a proper SMB share path.
