Adding a Windows driver package
Use the Driver Package Wizard on any Windows boot server to add a network interface card (NIC) driver or mass storage device (MSD) driver.
Alternatively, install NetBackup client software on the target system and perform a full BMR backup. The drivers are saved in that client's configuration and available for use during a dissimilar system restore.
Before you can add a package, you must have the installation files for the package. Obtain the files from the vendor's Web site, the installation program that is provided with the NIC device or MSD device, or another BMR Windows client in your environment.
Note:
You can add only NIC and MSD drivers. All other types of drivers (audio, video, modem, and so on) must be installed on the system after the restore is complete.
