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
