IMPORTANT:
When backing up a Windows golden node (supported only on specific
Moonshot cartridges):
•
The backup image size (the total size of the compressed part-archi*.tar.bz2 files)
must be <85% of RAM size on the nodes to be cloned. For example, on nodes with 8GB
RAM, the maximum image size available for cloning is approximately 7GB.
•
Ensure that the root partition number is correct. Root partition is the partition containing
the Windows system folder. Verify by running the diskpart command at the Windows
command prompt:
c:\>diskpart
