Network adapter driver is not loaded when booting from recovery media

Challenge

When booting from Veeam Recovery Media, the network driver fails to boot. Manual driver injection returns "NO DEVICE ID" error and also fails.

Cause

The drivers required for Intel 219 series network adapter do not work in WinRE environment.

Solution

As a workaround, you can restore from backups on a local storage or, alternatively, try using a different network adapter.
