Windows 10 Drivers Backup and Restore for All Devices

As featured on Alternativeto & Internet Archive

System drivers are the bridge between your Windows operating system and your hardware. When they work, your PC runs smoothly. When they corrupt—whether from malware, a botched update, or a failing drive—you can face the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) or total system failure.

This guide provides a complete, step-by-step tutorial on how to create a secure backup of your Windows 10 drivers and restore them effortlessly, saving you hours of hunting down files from manufacturer websites after a clean install.

Why You Need a Driver Backup

If you are the type of PC user who likes to tinker, troubleshoot, or build your own systems, a driver backup is your safety net. You should back up your drivers if:

• You are doing a clean install: You want to avoid downloading gigabytes of drivers individually.

• A new update caused a crash: You need a reliable restore point for a driver that was previously working fine.

• You have limited bandwidth: Downloading all your drivers again isn't an option.

• You own legacy hardware: Finding online drivers for older, unsupported components is becoming impossible.

How to create Driver's Backup: 

While Windows offers native command-line tools like PowerShell to export drivers, using a dedicated script automates the process and makes it much easier for everyday users. 

     So how to do "Drivers Backup"? or how to back up your drivers? Well, it's a pretty straightforward process. 

1. Step one go to the Download page and Download DBR (Drivers Backup And Restore).

Note: No installation is needed. (Portable program)

2. Recommended: Step two scan the file by using your Antivirus or by uploading it on VirusTotal if no virus or malware is found then move to step three.

3. Step three right click on DB (Drivers Backup) and select Run as administrator

4. Step four select the drive which you want to backup you can even take backup to an external drive or USB flash drive but you need to connect it before running this program. It will do a free scan of your Windows system for all the installed drivers and then starts to backup

Note by default it is always saved under the folder name "DB (DriversBackup)" in whichever drive you have selected for example you have selected Drive E: it will get backed up at E:\DriversBackup. 

How to Restore Drivers from Driver's Backup 

1. Step one right click on DR (Drivers Restore) and select Run as administrator

2. Next, select the drive which you had previously backed up to for example Drive E: type serial number '3' and press the 'Enter' Key it will start Restoring all the drivers From Drive E: "E:\DriversBackup" in case it did not restore all the drivers which are backed up it is because the driver already exists or is already pre-installed on your OS (operating system) hence it did not restore it. While backing up all drivers which come with the operating system drivers gets backed up with 3rd party drivers which you downloaded or that the manufacturers have installed. 3rd party drivers are also called OEM drivers.
