A bit of a big download but looks a very handy tool for making business cards.

Just got it and it is very easy to use and produces very professional cards. Lots of formats and patterns, probably the cause of the download size.

Today we have Driver Magician 3.32, which looks like it could be an extremely useful back-up tool:

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/driver-magician-332/

Driver Magician offers a professional solution for device drivers backup, restoration and update in Windows operating system. It identifies all the hardware in the system, extracts their associated drivers from the hard disk and backs them up to a location of your choice. Then when you format and reinstall/upgrade your operating system, you can restore all the “saved” drivers just as if you had the original driver diskettes in your hands. After one system reboot, your PC will be loaded and running with the required hardware drivers.

Driver Magician has a built in database of the latest drivers with the ability to go to the Internet to receive the driver updates. It saves lots of time to find the correct drivers and mature drivers will obviously increase the performance of hardware. If there are unknown devices in your PC, Driver Magician helps you to detect them easily and quickly with its built in hardware identifier database.
Key features

    * Back up device drivers of your computer in four modes.
    * Restore device drivers from backup in one mouse click.
    * Update device drivers of your PC to improve system performance and stability.
    * Live Update device identifier database and driver update database.
    * Detect unknown devices.
    * Get detailed information of the hardware drivers.
    * Clone all drivers to an auto-setup package (.EXE), so you can restore drivers without installing Driver Magician.

I looked at that Floydy but wondered IF I have only my C drive, and IF all went pear shaped  would I not also lose the back up that this has provided ??  OR  could I transfer the back up file to another source, ie   Flash Drive  ??   

[Floydoid]

Yeah a flash drive would be OK... better still though - burn it to a CD.

[kitz]

One thing gave me concern about this prog and it was what would happen if you did a reformat and didnt have the prog installed to re-install all the drivers, but it looks like I found the answer

* Clone all drivers to an auto-setup package (.EXE), so you can restore drivers without installing Driver Magician.

Thanks floydy

[Floydoid]

Yeah Kitz, RTFM first. 

Seriously though, had it not had that option I wouldn't have bothered mentioning it.
