Tried them both. Both seem ok and picked up the Drivers i wanted. Double Driver does pick up a host of files though and it is a pain to uncheck the ones you don't want (Using old pc in work). Might be worth trying the programs out on a few other PC's?
Backing up drivers?
- Thread starter Priapus
- Start date
That's what I meant. Unchecking everything is a pain, but I can deal with it, Like I say, I prefer Driver Genius...I will be using the program on a customer's pc in a about an hour and will see how well it works.. 
To me, they both do the same thing..Double Driver just lists a lot of files you don't need or want to back up as like I say, they are reinstalled when you load Windows again.
Do you have any PC's to try it on?

Just a little update for you:
Double Driver:
It's quicker to back-up drivers from the system to my flash drive. However, it gave a few errors of the sound driver and printer driver that could not find it, so can't back that up. The program gave me no infomation on exact drivers, while backing up.
Driver Genius:
This program takes longer to find and back up drivers. Not much, just a little. However, it seems as this is the program to use. It tells you what drivers it's backing up while doing it. It found all drivers and gave no errors, even did my sound.
The storage location shows me that Driver Genius backed up 54Mb of data where has Double Driver only backed up 51mb of Data.
The next test will be restoring them. At the moment, Driver Genius seems to be the better software to use.

Okay..
Doing the restore now. Unless Driver Genius is registered, you can only restore sound and video drivers. So i got it registered and bought a copy of it. Excellent bit of software, works 100% no problems. Double Driver is a bit buggy for me. Yes, you can back up and restore from any location.
Bought the copy, works great!
