Error in Re-configuring VM Disk after Replication in BDRSuite

KB ID: 105034
Symptom:
When attempting to re-configure virtual machine (VM) disks following replication using BDRSuite, an error occurs.
Cause:
The error arises when a replication job is configured for a VM with more than two hard disks. Subsequently, if a hard disk is added or removed from the replicated VM, and an incremental backup is scheduled for that specific replication job, issues may occur. Replication failure can result from improper removal of disks from the replicated VM.
Solution:
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Properly remove the newly added hard disk from the source VM.
2. Re-add the hard disk to the source VM.
3. Attempt to run the incremental backup for the affected job.
Ensure that the added hard disk is managed correctly in both the source VM and the replication process to avoid replication errors.
