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?

Our forum is mainly focused on the general issue of Teams for Linux troubleshooting. According to your description, your issue is not in our support scope. So I will remove team-linux tag. Thanks for your understanding!
Its a Linux server some how root directory is picking C:\ drive instead of /.
Can some one please let me know how to fix it.
What version of SSMS do you see under Help->About?
Below is the information. I did look all the SQL sever on linux its all pointing to C:\ only :(
SQL Server Management Studio 15.0.18338.0
SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) 16.100.41011.9
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 15.0.19205.0

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000
Operating System 10.0.19042
That is not the most recent version of SSMS, but nor is it antique, so I would not expect that to be the problem. Nevertheless, you may want to install 18.9.1 to be sure.
I tried connecting to one my of Linux VMs, and the browsing dialog had had a / on the top. So I don't know what may have happened in your case.
What Linux do you have? What does "SELECT @@version" report?
Below is the version information.
