Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for injecting drivers into computing systems during restore operations may include (1) identifying a restore operation directed to restoring a system volume on a computing system, (2) locating, at least in part by examining a hardware configuration of the computing system being restored, at least one driver utilized by the hardware configuration, (3) representing the system volume as an image to a deployment image servicing and management application, and (4) causing the deployment image servicing and management application to inject the driver into the computing system as part of the restore operation. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
