    Manual / Semi Manual Device Driver Back up




    Manual / Semi Manual Device Driver Back up
    Manual 1 Copying the files from folders DriverStore and drives


    Copying the files from folders DriverStore and drives took a very ling time. Almost a day for approximately 500MB - 850MB from the computer to a USB stick , ( 500MB - 850MB drivers and DriverStore.JPG : https://imgur.com/oulwK9H
    https://imgur.com/2WK0ZYk

    https://imgur.com/BFew5IX


    The final explorer type listing can be obtained ( http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...ll=1#post12095 ) of the files looks something like this:
    'wbCodesBefore.xlsm' : https://app.box.com/s/c5rg9bjm78mt6gkkj9q6b7z8unu0r5xa
    wbCodesBefore.JPG . https://imgur.com/3N9G3nI
    wbCodesBefore.jpg


    In that file, are about 5000 files and folders!!

    It is very unlikely that we need all that information..



    Manual 2 Device Manager , select the devices , and then look at their properties
    The way to check for where the software is to look in the Device Manager , select the devices , and then look at their properties:
    One way to find the Device Manager is to right click bottom left on the Microsoft Start Symblol, then look for it in the pop up list:
    Right Click bottom left Device Manager.jpg
    Or you can start typing in a search box somewhere something like devi .. and you will likely find your way there somehow
    Search device manager.jpg : https://imgur.com/74D8vLN

    Once you have that main Window open , you can navigate with some mouse clicking and selecting until you find the shown Files location
    Device Manager device properties.jpg https://imgur.com/KgEM1cv https://imgur.com/vK0YoST https://imgur.com/uO7qRrO https://imgur.com/lW3sGcV

    You can then use the File explorer to find the file or files


    Here is the list made manually from the Device Manager driver properties

    Using single line command windows Commands.
    Semi Manual , Deployment Image Servicing and Management, DISM
    One of the main important differences of the integrated internal storage devices such as our C: and V: drives compared to the simple storage devices such as our USB stick is that they are intended to allow access in a more direct way to different physical places in a storage medium. We need this because things that "work" or "do things" or "control things" need to be stored in specific places in relation to each another. That is one reason why we generally have an installing process to get software that work on our computers, rather than simply copying a file and "opening it/ running it ". This is one reason why it used to be a complicated process to feed different discs into a computer at different times during the instillation process.
    In real life, we could compare this with having a complicated set of ideas , notes and instruction and piles of materials to build a house. At some point it became easier to produce models or very detailed plans based on pictures, - Images for want of a better word. Having at least 2 dimensions to use we could produce something along the lines of detailed pictures / images to greatly assist in the efficient building of a house.
    In computing the comparison is so called Image files , or the word Image in general refers to a way to give a simplified way to show how things need to be placed. Modern Instillation disks , which typically need only to be one in quantity, for an operating system , are often called image to distinguish them from a simple disc used for storage.
    The main difference between these special discs and others is that things are stored in specific locations. In addition it needs to be a well etched or "burnt" form , but the latter gets a bit lost in the definitions and trade secrets of what is actually going on in disc manufacture and use. No one can explain exactly what all the different forms of DVD or CD are all about. But generally you will likely need a specific software to produce an "Image" type disc. The exact form of the discs usually loosely follow some Internationally agreed format and set of Standards, set by some Organisation or another.
    Sometimes such disks are loosely named as ISO disks, or an ISO image disc or an ISO Image Operating System disc.
    In actual fact it is all a bit imprecise and / or a bit secret , probably based on illegal secret agreements.
    So you won't find anyone that really will ever explain precisely what it is all about.
    The software associated with managing Image things goes by the name of DISM. As time has gone on, this has been refined and so made available to us to use.


    Relevance to our current discussions
    As we have seen by our truly manual backing up, we have an enormous amount of data, and it is unlikely that we need a lot of it. Some material may routinely always be there and may not be Device dependant. Some might be automatically produced by the instillation process associate with the Devices, whether device dependant or not.
    The point of the DISM technology is to allow ease and efficiency of things like instillations, by being responsible for the minimum actual data specifically that is required. This both aids in the simplicity of final use whilst also making it much more difficult to understand and so replicate. In other words it helps the final user, helps the organisation by the manufacturer , but makes it more difficult for third parties to manipulate.

    Using the Semi Manual , in particular , DISM things, within Windows
    Historically in computing, simple one line commands or code lines did a lot of things, and initially were also necessary to start off more complicated software such as Windows itself. In particular things to do with File organising used simple commends. Anybody over 50 years old will likely have at some time typed the command Dir , or variations thereof, on an old computer in order to navigate around the Files in an old computer
    These things are still available, and we have a couple of ways from within windows which are very similar to get at them, which both end up with us having as big black, ( or blue ) windows, which mimics an old computers simple plain screen where you typed code lines one after the other.

    In particular , things to do with file control were and can still be controlled in this way. DISM things are concerned with file management and also can be to some extent be controlled by these commands.

    The command windows
    The more fundamental "black screen type" cmd window we have already come across in out discussions: ( It was one of a few ways to access our disc management window.).
    When talking about command windows type things we can distinguish between the older cmd window, typically black, and things which often have the word Shell associated with them. Shell things came a bit later and were a development to make a more powerful interface between the user and files and file management. For our purposes we can approximately regard it as a more advance modern version of the command window. It does a lot of other things as well, but the command window feature is one of them. Generally it is conventionally seen in our use as a blue window, and we can do slightly more with it than in our black cmd window


    Getting at the command windows
    cmd window as Administrator

    You can open the cmd window as a normal user , or as an administrator, ( assuming that you are a user with Administrator rights: Usually by default, you would have such rights. If not then there may be a reason for that. You should then contact someone with administrator rights )
    You need to open it as administrator to do the commands that we are interested in.
    Here are a couple of ways to do that in Windows 10:

    _ Search bar: If you have a search bar, then type in cmd , after which you should see a
    Command Prompt .
    option. Right clicking on that should give you an option to Run as administrator
    Search bar cmd right click on cmd as administrator.jpg https://imgur.com/8pV1BaN , https://imgur.com/j8QIsPP

    _ WinX power user menu: Press [Windows Key+x] , and in the menu that should come up, choose Command Prompt (Admin) in it. ( This may not be available in all Windows 10 versions ).

    ( in both cases you will need to confirm to allow cmd to run as administrator, https://imgur.com/ypw7Icj )


    Change Black to Blue
    When in the black window, type Powershell or start powershell , to get into the Blue Window

    Directly getting the "blue" PowerShell Window

    _ The search bar approach is similar to that for the black cmd window: begin typing the word powershell , and an options window containing
    Windows PowerShell (Administrator).
    should be available, after which you can right click on it and select to Run as administrator

    _ WinX power user menu: As with cmd , Press [Windows Key+x] , and in the menu that should come up, choose Windows PowerShell (Administrator).

    Command Lines. Back up of drivers semi automated, aka BackUp Drivers without software


    Back up of drivers semi automated, sometimes referred to as BackUp Drivers without software…

    Using single line command windows Commands in
    Exporting” Drivers without Software
    When looking at these things , you come across a word often used loosely in computing by people who either forgot or never learnt properly exactly what they are talking about when they use the word – “ Export ” or “ Exporting

    We saw already in the manual approach ( http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...ll=1#post12136 ) , that we had a massive amount of files. We commented already that we likely won’t need a lot of them.

    When we export driver files from Windows using windows management type things, then this will usually not include additional software that would typically be bundled with a driver package.
    Theoretically if all works well, we have the minimum information we need which can then be used to restore fully the drivers into windows later, for example after a clean re install of the operating software.

    Basic command lines for the Command windows

    Command, ( cmd ) , prompt lines

    A basic code line to list all drivers , dism.exe /Online /Get-Drivers /All , can be extended slightly to put that list into a text file.
    Code:
    dism.exe /Online /Get-Drivers /All > "C:\Users\Elston\Desktop\driverlist.txt" 
    ( Notes:
    If that text file does not exist, it will be made. If it exists , it will be overwritten
    If the path contains no spaces the " " pair can be omitted
    )
    All drivers_txt.jpg : https://imgur.com/wUfc4i9

    A reduced list can be obtained containing only third-party drivers like this .
    Code:
    dism.exe /Online /Get-Drivers  > "C:\Users\Elston\Desktop\3rdparty driverlist.txt" 
    3rd Party DriversBefore_txt : https://imgur.com/8cAmxyd

    ( The /Online part refers to the current operating active system )

    The actual files can be “exported” using
    Code:
     dism /online /export-driver /destination:"C:\Users\Elston\Desktop\driverbackupBefore" 
    Command Prompt Exported driver backup.jpg : https://imgur.com/3uHVpmw
    Note
    The final folder in the path, which is filled with the Driver files , must exist.
    If the path contains no spaces the " " pair can be omitted


    'driverbackup' : https://app.box.com/s/o5dj0tlx1pt2woe7efhi4q593imaq3lb
    ( 'driverbackup.zip' : https://app.box.com/s/bmwpcmqt9yxyn9e56qadyklagy6ot955 )

    That Folder contains only approximately 70 Files and folders, ( the full manual way gave us about 5000 files and folders http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...ll=1#post12136 )
    ‘wbCodesBeforeFrom cmd prompt.xlsm’ https://app.box.com/s/hix9sjernnbdu9vk2oqgspg8z00t9u8j


    Export/backup Windows drivers via PowerShell
    Code:
     Export-WindowsDriver -Online -Destination "C:\Users\MeinPC\Desktop\PowerShell driverbackup" 
    Power Shell export driverbackup.JPG : https://imgur.com/4mmiNC1 , https://imgur.com/Rj4VjK5
    Note that the final folder in the path, which is filled with the Driver files , will be made if it does not exist.
    Note
    The final folder in the path, which is filled with the Driver files , must exist.
    If the path contains no spaces the " " pair can be omitted


    _.______

    The files in the folders driverbackupBefore and PowerShell driverbackup are identical:
