MeCJay12 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I backed up my Windows machine using the Veeam Windows Agent. I created a Windows VM on my unRaid (6.3.5) server to make sure I had on all drivers (VirtIO 0.1.126-2) I needed and all the drivers installed from an ISO just fine. I booted up a new VM with my Veeam recovery media and the same devices needed drivers. Using the same ISO, the driver would no longer install. When I try to install the driver I get "NO_DEVICE_ID" error. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment
ashman70 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 The Veeam windows agent is meant for physical machines, not virtual. You are trying to restore a virtual machine using the Veeam backup media which is meant for a physical machine so it's not surprising you are getting that error. When you move from a physical to a virtual machine the drivers are not the same as the hardware is virtualized in a virtual machine, requiring different drivers then actual physical hardware.
