"I did not use it."
Version: Driver Backup 1.0.0.1
Pros
Easily downloaded.
Cons
This insists on installing itself as an application first. When "rescuing" drivers from an unstable system, a new installation is the last thing I want.
Summary
I found a file called "double driver" which runs WITHOUT installation and copies all your drivers into a directory structured archive so that they can be copied off and reinstalled later.

"Driver Backup"
Version: Driver Backup 1.0.0.1
Pros
I gave not tried to restore drivers from this backup yet, Its not done with this software, probably need to do them manually
Cons
I like it. Easy, works as advertised. Chances are, if you don't know enough to use it, you won't know you could use it and make your life easier.

"Simple and easy, with no hand holding"
Version: Driver Backup 1.0.0.1
Pros
Does what I expected and needed, but with little documentation. As long as you know a bit, it does what is needed.
Cons
There needs to be a bit of an explanation of how it works, especially for non-expert users.
Summary
I like it. Easy, works as advertised. Chances are, if you don't know enough to use it, you won't know you could use it and make your life easier.

"Can Save Your *ss"
Version: Driver Backup 1.0.0.1
Pros
Quick and easy to save driver configuration
Cons
No instructions to unzip correctly. You may need to click the read file before unzipping.
Summary
I downloaded it because I did not read the review correctly, I thought it would scan and suggest what drivers to install. It did not...It did as it was supposed to do, scanned my drivers and listed them. I save the file. Then I proceeded to download DriverHQ which I had used years ago; I clicked scan, then chose to download an ATI driver, and my monitor went haywire. No matter what driver I downloaded from ATI, it wouldn't work. I remembered that I had backed up the driver, went into my control panel and restored the driver. I then uninstalled DriverHQ!

"Shows all your drivers to backup, only 2 choices. Easy"

So simple, anyone can do it.
Cons
None that I could find

Best driver backup software i've found

"I wasn't sure, but it worked"
Version: Driver Backup 1.0.0.1
Pros
I was really at my tech capabilities' end when I had to reformat my hard drive. I downloaded this program, ran it and saved the results on a flash drive. When format was done, the backed-up drivers were easy to reinstall.
Cons
None that I found, but I wasn't sure what I was doing.

"Not for the inexperienced"
Version: Driver Backup 1.0.0.1
Pros
Finds dozens of possible choices for driver downloads
Cons
Gives NO CLUE WHATSOEVER as to which of the dozens of driver choices would be for you. This appears to be a P2P site which would update more viruses than drivers.
Summary
Downloaded, installed and sampled this application on at least a couple of occasions and was completely lost as to which of the available driver downloads would be appropriate for my system. One would just be much better off by going to the manufacturer's site for driver updates.
I am disappointed that there is a not ZERO star rating
