Extract drivers from hard disk and back them up, but free version does not support restoring drivers from a backup.
Driver Magician Lite is an easy way to make backups of the drivers currently installed on your Windows PC.
Despite its lack of features when compared to the full version tool called Driver Magician, Driver Magician Lite is still effective at performing its main task of backing up drivers.
The application is rather easy to use and when running a full scan of your system, it should find all drivers installed. Once completed, a list of drivers will be displayed in the main interface along with the developer name, version and the date.
After selecting the drivers you would like to backup, click on "Start Backup" and store the drivers on a portable device like a USB thumb drive.
Unfortunately, Driver Magician Lite does not support restoring drivers in case you need to which is probably why a free version such as this exist: to push the paid version in case of emergency. Either way, it's a good insurance policy to have if you are unable to obtain drivers for the devices you own.
