"Excellent product, could not do without it."
Version: Driver Magician Lite 3.81
Pros
small size
quick installation
clear instructions
fastCons
none, it does what is advertised
Summary
I carry it on a flash drive and use it when I have to reinstall the non-Windows drivers. I work with a company that restores donated computers and this is best way to get all of the drivers needed that do not come with Windows:
1. create a folder on the flash drive and name it the model of the computer
2. install DML
3. select the drivers in red, we ignore the printers and monitors.
4. start the backup and select the folder you created on your flash drive
When it is done you have a copy of the drivers for that model of computer and it makes restoring much quicker. No it won't install the drivers for you, but it never said it would. Just go into Device Manager and update the drivers manually by navigating to the folder you created. All of the driver folders inside are clearly labeled.
Best bit of software I have come across in a long time. -
"It backs up, but can't restore drivers"
Version: Driver Magician Lite 3.7
Pros
It identifies no-system drivers and can back them up. I'm not sure how useful this is.
Cons
It can't restore drivers in case of a problem - I suppose a copy using a file utility might help.
Summary
It has some functionality and is free, and it does what it does properly.

"a useless program and a waste of time"
Version: Driver Magician Lite 3.52
Pros
I liked nothing about it.
Cons
t just backs drivers up but doesn't restore them. You have to buy the paid version in order to be able to restore them. Wnat can you do with backing up without restoring.

"Scary to restore"
Version: Driver Magician Lite 3.47
Pros
simple look
Cons
hard to understand what to do
scarySummary
scary - what if it does not backup well? What if the restore will "forget" an INF or two or somekind of latest settings/configurations?
