I know that Acronis' Universal Restore can slipstream new drivers during
a bare metal restore. This allows restoring to different hardware/VM.
I was a developer (linux appliance side) at a failed startup that OEM'd
Acronis Server. Our product was partially based on this capability.
You do still have to "reactivate" the Windows license, if it is new
enough to contain that tech. Which is why one of the owners ideas of
automated failover from physical to virtual (auto restore into VM upon
failure detection) just wasn't going to work.
