asked on Windows 10 Recovery: network drivers?
If I create a Windows Recovery USB and boot from it:
1) does it contain the appropriate network drivers?
2)I I have backups (C: drive, program/data drive) on a mapped network drive. Is there anyway to automatically (or via batch file) map to that and keep in on the recovery drive?
3) Is there any situation where the recovery USB along with a complete backup of programs and C: will not be enough?
Thanks.

icohan -
I'm usng Acronis Backup to a NAS DROBO.
Acronis allows you to create a "Rescue Media Builder " and asks if you want to create an ISO or do a WinPE based media.
Does an ISO image take a look at the C: Drive (mine is 2T) and create a 2T image, or does it just take the system files?
If I choose Windows, it gives me the option of a "Windows Recovery Environment" ( asks me if I want to add drivers - hence the question).
Does a "complete" recovery drive that you mention contain ALL information on the physical boot drive?

yep - all is good - appreciate the help. Just slow in getting back here...
2)I don't think this is possible as that recovery drive will become a dedicated one and can't be used for anything else.
3)I believe that the best way to recover ALL from a system - win 10 included - is to use a System Image + recovery drive as described here:
