DriverGuide Toolkit backs up all of your installed driver files. If you have driver files located on your system but they are not installed on the system (correctly), DriverGuide Toolkit will not back them up. DriverGuide Toolkit only backs up those drivers which are correctly installed onto the system. DriverGuide Toolkit identifies what driver files to backup through the INF file each driver uses to tell the operating system how to install itself. Based on this information, DriverGuide Toolkit collects the necessary files and then saves them to a user configurable location. In some cases, the INF file may list a number of driver files that DriverGuide Toolkit does not backup. This is often the result of driver files that are in support of a different version of Windows. Those driver files are not backed up because they are not needed for your version of Windows. Please note: IF FOR WHATEVER REASON YOUR DRIVER DOES NOT HAVE AN INF FILE, THEN !DRIVERGUIDE TOOLKIT CANNOT BACK UP THE DRI
