How to back up your drivers with Driver Genius
Something about backing up your drivers.
Here’s how you do it…
Step 1 — Scan your drivers
Start Driver Genius and click Backup Drivers on the main menu.
Driver Genius will now scan your computer and gather the details of your drivers.
Step 2 — Choose which drivers to back up
You can back up currently used drivers, original Windows drivers, and disconnected device drivers.
They’re all selected by default, so unless there are drivers you don’t want to back up, leave it as it is.
Click Next.
Step 3 — Choose the backup type and location
Driver Genius gives you four backup types.
I’ve chosen the default option, which copies the drivers to a folder.
The default backup folder is C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Windows Username]\My Documents\DriverGenius\Backup. Click Browse if you want to save your drivers somewhere else.
I’ve selected a folder on my backup hard drive.
Click Next.
Step 4 — Start the backup
Driver Genius will now back up your drivers.
It took about 20 minutes on my computer, so plenty of time to make a cup of tea, or pour a cold beer…
Click Finish when it’s done.
Step 5 — Check your backup
Go to your backup folder and check the drivers are there.
And that’s it. Done.
