Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Driver Magician Lite lacks frills and showmanship, but the simple layout makes backing up your device drivers much easier than pulling a rabbit out of a hat.
The quick install and small memory footprint would lead you to hope that the rest of the program runs the same way. That's no sleight-of-hand: Backing up every driver on my computer, from Bluetooth and tablet controllers to Intel chip sets, took less than five minutes. Users can select drivers individually or hit the Select All button at the bottom of the spreadsheet-style layout. Hitting the Start Backup button opens a directory window, so you can choose where the drivers will be saved to, and then another click begins the process.
We recommend creating a designated folder for backing up your drivers, since Driver Magician will mimic your computer's folder tree and save each driver to an appropriate folder. Saving those to your desktop would be harder to clean up than splaying a deck of cards across a stage. It doesn't do much else. If you need to use the drivers it's backed up for you, you'll need to install them yourself. However, you'll be hard-pressed to find such a useful tool that's as easy to use as this, and that's no trick.
Publisher's description
From GoldSolution :Driver Magician Lite identifies all the hardware in the system, extracts their associated drivers from the hard disk, and backs them up to a location of your choice. Then when you format and reinstall/upgrade your operating system, you can restore all the saved drivers just as if you had the original driver diskettes in your hands.

"Quick but questionable reliability"
Pros: Program quickly highlighted drivers needing back-up; when I tried to back-up drivers - msg - "not need bac k-up". I'm new at thisand I'm confused.

Version: Driver Magician Lite 3.35
"I will keep my PhotoFiltre close at hand until I have tested further!"
Pros: It appears to have interesting tools for working with images and animation according to the faq forum.
Cons: Does not appear to have a comprehensive or extensive pro tutorial or index, all suggestions are from amateurs who have fiddled around with it, and in some cases they disagree on applications
