You say that "it seemed to have lost its network connection." I'm not sure
what you mean by that. Perhaps, if you provide us with some detail concerning
exactly what happened / what you saw someone will have a suggestion.

I can tell you that I have tested both USMT (user state migration tool) and
the Easy Transfer wizard and found that both of them recovered and proceeded
without issue when network connections were interrupted deliberately. It
worked well enough, and our network is fast enough, that we decided to forego
using the special data transfer kit/cable the Microsoft recommends.

As an alternative I guess you might also just use USMT to produce a data
store, write the data store to optical disc(s), and accomplish the transfer
that way.
