      As you know almost all drivers are a part of the kernel itself. There isn't a way to "export" them in the way that you're thinking -- at least not that I'm aware. If you installed a package that included a 3rd party hardware driver, perhaps you can just download the rpm or deb file from its repo to back it up. Some kernel modules (or groups of kernel modules) are the drivers for some hardware, and you could potentially backup those files to load later. I haven't had hardware that has required special kernel modules that would create that situation.

      To be honest, if that system crashes, reinstalling your Linux distribution will be your method of getting drivers for your hardware :).

      Unsolved Decrypting a LUKS encrypted drive at boot

      Here is something i found:

      Ensure LUKS Drive is Configured
      If the drive isn’t encrypted yet, you can encrypt it with LUKS:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdX
      Replace /dev/sdX with the appropriate drive/partition. Be cautious—this step will erase all data on the drive.

      Add the Drive to /etc/crypttab
      Edit the /etc/crypttab file to configure the system to unlock the drive at boot.

      Open the file:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo nano /etc/crypttab
      Add an entry for the encrypted drive:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      cryptname /dev/sdX none luks
      cryptname: A name for the decrypted device (used later in /etc/fstab).
      /dev/sdX: Path to the encrypted device.
      none: Use none for a passphrase prompt at boot or specify a path to a key file.
      luks: Indicates LUKS encryption.
      Example:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      cryptdrive /dev/sdb1 none luks
      3. Add the Decrypted Device to /etc/fstab
      To automatically mount the decrypted drive after unlocking:

      Edit /etc/fstab:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo nano /etc/fstab
      Add an entry for the decrypted drive:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      /dev/mapper/cryptname /mnt/mountpoint ext4 defaults 0 2
      Replace:

      /dev/mapper/cryptname with the mapped device from /etc/crypttab.
      /mnt/mountpoint with your desired mount point.
      ext4 with your file system type.
      4. Generate an Initramfs
      If the root file system or a critical drive is encrypted, you’ll need to update the initramfs to include decryption tools.

      Update the initramfs:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo update-initramfs -u
      Verify that the cryptsetup package is installed in your initramfs configuration.

      Test Boot Behavior
      Reboot the system and observe the decryption process:

      If you specified none in /etc/crypttab, you should be prompted for a passphrase at boot.
      If a key file was used, the drive should decrypt automatically.
      6. Using a Key File for Automatic Decryption
      To avoid entering a passphrase at boot, use a key file:

      Generate a key file:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/root/luks-keyfile bs=4096 count=1
      Set permissions:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo chmod 600 /root/luks-keyfile
      Add the key file to the LUKS header:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sdX /root/luks-keyfile
      Update /etc/crypttab:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      cryptname /dev/sdX /root/luks-keyfile luks
      Update the initramfs:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo update-initramfs -u
      Reboot to test automatic decryption.

      Troubleshooting
      Device not found during boot: Ensure the correct device path is used in /etc/crypttab.
      Passphrase prompt not appearing: Verify cryptsetup is installed and included in initramfs.
      Boot hangs or fails: Boot into a live session, comment out entries in /etc/fstab or /etc/crypttab, and investigate.
