em, I suggest you to install lvm2 before the backup to save yourself the hassle of regenerating initramfs after the restore.

Also, since it's you're using backup2l with tar backend, you'll need to do something to restore all those capabilities extended attributes. A hint here is: grep setcap /var/lib/dpkg/info/* Reco

It's highly likely that it was kernel panic. Whenever it was related to failed NIC, or no - it's impossible to tell since there's no kernel backtrace.
