Driver Magician Lite lets you easily back up all of your computer's drivers.

Pros

Most of the work is done for you: All of your drivers are listed as soon as you open the software. The software even highlights those that aren't included in Microsoft Windows, and advises you that these are the ones that should be backed up. Checkboxes let you choose the drivers you want to back up, or you can Choose All to back up every driver in the list. After that, you just need to indicate where the drivers should be saved.

Cons

Really lite: Driver Magician Lite does one thing and one thing only. If you want to update or otherwise manage your drivers, you'll need to upgrade.

Bottom Line

Consider the cost (in time or money) if something goes wrong with your computer, and you need those drivers and don't have them. Stack that up against the fact that Driver Magician Lite will save them for you for free, and it's an easy sell, whether you upgrade or not.

Excellent product, could not do without it.
KandoNYCNovember 30, 2011
Pros
small size quick installation clear instructions fast
Cons
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
SyrbalDecember 28, 2010
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.
Am hopeful Driver Magician Lite is working well.

killrazor6eDecember 9, 2010
Pros

Cons
not enough control / options
Summary
Who cares about backing up already downloaded drivers?
kostas anestisOctober 28, 2009
Pros
it's free but...
Cons
it's practically useless
Summary
Not a free software. Only back-up drivers. Big deal!!
larryg241October 25, 2009
Pros
Nothing unless you pay
Cons
Not a free software
Summary
a useless program and a waste of time
HeikleJune 22, 2009
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.
Summary
Very good and Fast...Does what it says
Darkness111May 17, 2009
Pros
Excellent Driver Back up. Quite Fast and Simple. Have not used the Registry backup option but its there if someone wants to use it.
Cons
Noe at the moment.
Summary
Try it. Safe to use. Works with Vista.
Driver Magician limitations - not worth installing
barbaragordMarch 9, 2009
Pros
Simple Easy to use Good potential
Cons
only one out-of-date driver was found
Summary
mmm... only one out-of-date driver was found. No good, I have at least 6 old drivers in my PC. I do not recommend this utility. There are other, free, and better: RadarSync Filihippo DriversMax Driversguide.com
Scary to restore
johndinzFebruary 17, 2009
Pros
simple look
Cons
hard to understand what to do scary
Summary
scary - what if it does not backup well? What if the restore will "forget" an INF or two or somekind of latest settings/configurations?

Developer’s Description

By GoldSolution

Keep back up of associated hardware drivers on your PC.

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 or upgrade your operating system, you can restore all the saved drivers just as if you had the original driver diskettes in your hands.
