Backup And Restore Your Windows XP and Vista System Drivers


Open source freeware, don't you just love free software? DriverBackup is a fast and user-friendly free tool for backing up your computer drivers, restore corrupt drivers and more. Based on my own experience the software is useful for those that:

  • Bought a secondhand computer or laptop without the installation CDs
  • Lost your CD driver or the CD is not readable anymore.
  • Too lazy to insert all the CDs one by one, simply restore the driver after formatting the computer.
  • Updating to a newer driver, need a backup copy of the older driver in case the newer driver is not compatible.
  • Mass installation of drivers on computers in a library, computer lab or cybercafe. One click installs all the required drivers.

The possibility is unlimited. I guess this tool is useful for those that don't have the original CD. Backing up your system drivers in Windows is only a click away, same goes with restoring it. If DriverBackup is not to your liking, do try the following alternatives.
