Program for backing Win 8.1 drivers. How to create a backup of drivers before reinstalling Windows

Good day!

I think many users have come across the installation of a driver, even the new Windows 7, 8, 8.1, not always able to independently recognize the device and select a driver for it. Therefore, sometimes you have to download drivers from various sites, installed with CD / DVD discs that come complete to new equipment. In general, a decent time is spent on it.

To spend this time every time you have to search and install - you can back up the drivers, and in the case of which - to quickly restore it. For example, many often have to reinstall Windows because of various bugs and glitches - why do you need to search for drivers every time? Or say, you bought a computer or laptop in the store, and there is no drives with drivers with drivers (which, by the way, often happens). To do not search for them in case of problems with Windows, you can back up in advance. Actually about this and let's talk in this article ...

Important!

1) A backup of the drivers is best done immediately after setting up and installing all equipment - i.e. Then when everything works well.

2) To create a backup, you need a special program (about it below) and preferably a flash drive or disk. By the way, you can save a copy and another section hard disk, for example, if windows system Installed on the "C" disk, then the copy is better to place on the "D" disk.

3) Re-restore drivers from the copy you need to the same version of Windows, from which you did it. For example, made a copy in Windows 7 - then restore from the copy to Windows 7. If you change the OS with Windows 7 on Windows 8, and then restore the driver - some of them can work incorrectly!

Rograms to create a backup of the drivers in Windows

In general, there are quite a lot of programs of this kind. In this article I would like to stay at the best of your kind (of course, in my humble look). By the way, all these programs, in addition to creating a backup, allow you to find and update drivers for all computer devices (about this in this article :).

One of best programs To work with drivers. Allows you to search, update, make backup copies, and restore almost any drivers from them for any devices. The base of the drivers from this program is huge! Actually, I will show you how to make a copy of the drivers and restore it.

Small free utility for creating backup drivers. Many users use this personally, I didn't use it so often (for all time a couple of times). Although I admit that it can be better than Slim Drivers.

A very bad program that allows you to easily and quickly do and restore from the driver's copy. The only thing for the drivers of this program is smaller than at Slim Driver (this is useful when updating drivers, when creating backups - does not affect).

With the launch of the backup of the drivers - instructions for work in Slim Drivers.

Important! To work Slim Drivers requires Internet connection (if you do not work the Internet to install the drivers, then, for example, problems can be recovered when you restore drivers, problems may be installed - it will not be possible to install the Slim Drivers program to restore the drivers. Here is a closed circle).

1. To back up the Slim Driver, you first need to configure the hard disk space where the copy is saved. To do this, go to the Options section, select the Backup subsection, specify the location of the copies on the hard disk (it is desirable to choose not the part where you have installed Windows) and click the Save button.

3. Literally in minutes (on my laptop for 2-3 minutes.) A copy of the drivers is created. A successful creation report can be seen on the screenshot below.

In setting the drivers from the backup

After re windows installations or unsuccessful updating drivers - they can be easily restored from our copy.

1. To do this, go to the Options section, then in the Restore subsection, select a place on the hard disk where copies are stored (see. Just above in the article, you need to select the folder to which we created a copy), and click the Save button.

3. The program will warn you that you need to restart the computer to restore. Before rebooting, save all documents so that part of the data does not disappear.

Here today is actually all. By the way, many users praise dRIVER program Genius. Tested this program, allows you to add almost all drivers to the PC to a backup, plus it will be burned and placed in the automatic installer. Only when recovery is often observed errors: the program has not been registered and therefore you can restore only 2-3 drivers, then the installation is interrupted on half ... It is possible that it was so lucky only to me.

All happily!

Backup copy Drivers are needed in order to save time after reinstalling Windows. When a fresh operating system is installed on the computer, it is necessary to immediately install all drivers on the device, otherwise something will not work correctly. Installation of drivers takes a lot of time, and also take another part of the time.

In this article you can download the Double Driver program, which will make it easy to create backup drivers, and then restore them quickly. Among the advantages of the program, I saw the following:

• This is a portable program - the installation is not required, it works directly "out of the box", you can run from the flash drive.
• Very easy and fast.
• Completely free, without restrictions.
• Allows you to create a copy of the drivers not only on current systemBut on the other, if there are several Windows on the computer, including what is noteworthy, can scan drivers on damaged systems if they cannot be downloaded.

From the flaws only one - the program on english language. But, as usual, thanks to my instruction, it will not become a big problem. I will show where to press.

After launch, the program interface appears in front of you, in which you first click on "Backups" in the top menu, and then "Scan Current System" below.

Before you instantly appears a list of drivers detected on your device. Check the device, the backup of the drivers of which you want or check everything at once, and then click on the button at the bottom "Backup NOW".

A window will appear in which you want to select a backup location (option "Destination"), as well as how the backup of the drivers should be saved (OUTPUT option, I give explanations in order of items, as in the screenshot below):

• structural folder;
• compressed arch in format.zip;
• self-extracting archive.

I recommend choosing the first option. Then click "OK" and back up the drivers. The more drivers were chosen, the longer the copying process will last. Wait for its completion.

If you save in the form of a structural folder, the backup of the drivers will look like the screenshot below.

Before reinstalling Windows Do not forget to save the backup of the drivers and distributive Double Driver program in a reliable location, for example, on a flash drive, a disk on which Windows is not installed or on another device.

As I Came above, Double Driver allows you to save Windows drivers that cannot boot. To do this, boot in any other working system on this computer. Then, do the entire instruction described above, only after clicking in the upper menu of the "Backups" buttons, instead of "Scan Current System", click "Scan Other System" below, and specify the path to Windows, backup drivers from which you need to do.

The rest of the process is the same as I told above.

How to restore drivers

To restore drivers that were saved in advance, run the Double Driver program, press the "Restore" button in the top menu, and then below "Locate Backup".

A window will appear in which you want to select the location where the backup of the drivers has been saved.

If you have not changed the default saving space when copying, your backup will be in the "Default Location" option. If the backup was saved elsewhere in the form of an archive, then specify the path to it in the option "Compressed (Zipped) Backup Folder." If the backup was saved elsewhere in the form of a folder, please specify it in the option "Other location". Then click "OK". The screenshot shows the last option.
