Restoring drivers to your computer

You need not install drivers one by one after reinstalling your operating system. Just one click is all you need to install all your backup drivers automatically. To restore a driver:

1. Click the ‘Restore Drivers’ icon.

2. Select the backup record you want restore from the record list, then click ‘Next’.

3. You can also restore drivers from the appointed backup file. Click the ‘Browse my computer for backup drivers’ button and then select the source type. If your backup type is ‘Default’, select the ‘Folder’ option. If your backup type is ‘ZIP file’, or ’self-extracting file’, please select the ‘File’ option.

4. Click the ‘Browse’ button to choose the location for the backup file, then click ‘Next’.

4. Now your backup files and their details will appear in the list. Select the driver you want to restore and click ‘Next’ to start restoring.

Note: We suggest you close all applications before restoration to avoid conflicts. Do not perform any operations during the restoration process. You will be prompted to restart your computer after restoration is complete. All your drivers will be installed and will then work correctly after the system reboot.

Restoring by the Auto-Installer

If you have backed up your drivers to an auto-installer, all you need to do is launch the .exe file, and select drivers in the list. Then click the ‘Start Restore’ button to start their installation. You can also perform an unattended installation by using the command line mode. Using Auto-Installer, you can also reinstall drivers on multiple computers that have the same configuration at one time. This is another time-saving feature of Driver Genius Professional.

Command line usage: DriverBackup.exe /S/R

/S: Silent mode: restores all drivers automatically in silent mode. (No prompt dialog box appears.)
/R: Reboots the computer after the installation has completed.

Note: With the trial version, you can only restore drivers for video cards and network cards. This limitation will be removed after you register your software.

Backing up your drivers

You should back up your drivers before reinstalling the operating system or updating drivers. To back up your drivers:

1. Click the ‘Backup Drivers’ icon. The program searches for all drivers installed in current system.

2. A list of installed drivers appears in the right window pane. To view details of a device driver, click the device in the list. The details are displayed in the window.

Current used Drivers
These drivers are currently being used on your computer. They need to be backed up.

Windows Original Drivers
These drivers are included in the Windows installation CD and are installed automatically during the Windows installation procedure. They normally do not need to be backed up.

Disconnected Devices Drivers
These drivers belong to devices which are not currently connected to your computer. If you want to use these devices in the future, their drivers must be installed on your PC. Therefore, you need to back them up. This is very important when installing drivers on a clean, newly-installed operating system.

3. Select the drivers that you want to back up and click ‘Next’. By default all drivers will be backed up. This will take more time and disk space, so you may want to back up only the currently used drivers.

4. Select the Backup type. Driver Genius can back up drivers to a ZIP file, a self-extractor, or an Auto-Installer. Click the drop down menu -> Select the Backup type. Choose from the 4 options available. If you want to install drivers on multiple computers with the same configuration, we strongly recommend you should back up the drivers to an auto-installer. You can use the Auto-Installer to install drivers on a new system very quickly without Driver Genius, and thereby save lots of time.

5. Choose a location to save your driver backup files and click ‘Next’ to start the backup process.

Warning! Do not save the backup files in the partition where you install Windows. All data in that partition will be lost during the Windows installation process.
