Found a pretty nifty software for you to backup your drivers. It’s called Double Driver. Weird name, but hey, who cares. As long as it works, I won’t give a hoot’s ass if it is called Double Anal. The funny thing is that the developer of the software is called BooZet. Hmmm……This freeware allows you to check your system’s drivers and choose which drivers you want to backup. Just in case when you need to reformat your PC due to some problems, you can make use of those backup drivers instead of searching through the Internet. I know, I work as an IT support and if you have a lot of PCs to install with all sorts of different configurations, it’s going to be very tedious for you to search for all those drivers. Yes, imagine able to get the drivers with just a few clicks. Of course, this requires you to backup prior to formatting your HDD. It is just sad to see that Microsoft’s database of drivers is seriously lacking but it is understandable, seeing that there are a whole lot of hardware for the Windows OS platform compared to other Operating System.
Double Driver comes with a small package (about 1.4MB). All you have to do is to download it, install the software and then let it scan for the drivers. You can then choose which drivers you want to backup. Easy Peasy. I would recommend you to backup the drivers on a seperate drive. I mean if you format your HDD, then backup drivers will also be formatted and you are back to square one.
I would also recommend you to clone your HDD after you have formatted your PC and installed all the necessary software and programs. Cloning is much faster than formatting and installing (both software and drivers). And nowdays there are a lot of free software which you can use to duplicate your HDD which requires just a few clicks of the mouse. Again, easy peasy.
