How to Backup Drivers?

Step 1Scan Drivers

Launch PCBooster Free Driver Backup and some recommended drivers will be displayed in the window. Choose one driver and you'll see its related info like device, provider, date, version, etc. If needed, click "Scan Driver" tab to choose "Scan All Drivers" and the program will list all the drivers installed on your computer. The "Scan Driver" button at the right only scans for recommended drivers.

Tip: why driver backup is important? Because system manufacturers rarely supply drivers on disc anymore - if you ever need to format your hard disk and reinstall operating system, you might find yourself without critical drivers.

Step 2Select Drivers

Check the drivers you need to backup or click "Select All" to choose all the drivers.

Tip: to help you select the drivers you need, some info are provided in the list such as Device, Type, etc. When you click on a driver, more details will be displayed at the bottom like Provider, Date, Version, Digital Signature, etc.

Step 3Backup Drivers

The program provides 3 ways to backup the drivers - "Backup Selected Drivers"/"Backup Recommended Drivers"/"Backup All Drivers" and you can choose one according to you needs. You can also press hotkey F9/F10/F11 to perform the corresponding actions. Within several seconds, the backup process will be complete. Click "Backup - Browse Backup Folder..." to directly open the folder that stores the backed-up drivers.

Tip: unlike some other tools, our program will output the drivers in and organized folder structure - all drivers are categorized thus you don't have to go through hundreds of unfamiliar driver files to find the exact one needed.
