In order to ensure the optimum performance of your computer or to be able to install the most recent applications, you need to make sure that your drivers are updated. A program that comes in handy in this particular situation is Driver Magician.
The thing I liked the most about this application was its ability to back up and restore any installed driver within my PC. This way, in case your system crashes, you won't need to download and install the necessary drivers all over again.
More to that, you can back up your drivers to a compressed or self-extracted file and save plenty of space on your hard drives.
Sadly, the driver back up and looking for updates processes took a bit longer than I hoped for. Plus, the program didn't provide me with Pause/Resume buttons for these actions.
My only advice to you is to be careful when uninstalling drivers and make sure that you don't remove the wrong one. So, it's probably best to check for online opinions if you're uncertain of what to do.
However, considering its slow but efficient updates search, reasonable price and access to many helpful tools, my belief is that it's worth acquiring Driver Magician.
Ensure all your hardware devices and software applications are performing at peak performance levels

The quick install and small memory footprint would lead you to hope that the rest of the program runs the same way. That's no sleight-of-hand: Backing up every driver on my computer, from Bluetooth and tablet controllers to Intel chip sets, took less than five minutes. Users can select drivers individually or hit the Select All button at the bottom of the spreadsheet-style layout. Hitting the Start Backup button opens a directory window, so you can choose where the drivers will be saved to, and then another click begins the process.
We recommend creating a designated folder for backing up your drivers, since Driver Magician will mimic your computer's folder tree and save each driver to an appropriate folder. Saving those to your desktop would be harder to clean up than splaying a deck of cards across a stage. It doesn't do much else. If you need to use the drivers it's backed up for you, you'll need to install them yourself. However, you'll be hard-pressed to find such a useful tool that's as easy to use as this, and that's no trick...
