About Windows drivers packages

Windows packages are network interface card (NIC) drivers and mass storage device (MSD) drivers. Packages are stored in the BMR database on the NetBackup master server. The packages pool comprises of the packages that are stored in the database. The packages pool is the common pool of packages that can be added to restore configurations.

Packages may be required when you restore to a different system, in which case you add packages to the restore configuration. If the Packages window does not contain a driver that is required for a dissimilar system restore, add it to Bare Metal Restore. Do not add it to the restore configuration if a driver is on the Windows installation media that created the SRT.

If a package required for a dissimilar system restore already appears in the Packages window, add it to the restore configuration.
