Hello Team,

I have installed SQL Sever on Linux and changed the log and data files locations as well. When I ran backup job and to view the backup job output file with SSMS when I click on view I am getting below error.

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\var\opt\mssql\Log\backuplog.txt' in SQL server on linux

I am not sure some how its picking windows location format can some one help me on this. Please.

Is there any way root directly is pointing to C:\ drive?
