Has anyone had any experience with software
that does driver backups? www.driverguidetoolkit.com looks like it may do
what I want.Anything similar in freeware that works and allows drivers to be
reinstalled from backup?Also is there any software that will positively
identify
hardware without opening the computer?

FYI: The Payware version does a better job then the Freeware version
ever did.

FYI: The free version does miss some pieces of some drivers but it does
give you a good list of what drivers you have.
