This pull request introduces a new feature to the Parch Driver Manager enabling users to easily back up and restore their installed hardware drivers. The goal is to provide a safety net for users who need to reinstall their system or move to a new one allowing them to quickly recover their driver configuration without having to manually search for and reinstall each package.
The core of this new functionality is a dedicated backup manager module. It operates by creating a comprehensive backup of the current driver state, including a list of installed driver packages, the active kernel modules, and key hardware information. All backups are stored in a dedicated directory within the user's home folder and are organized by date for easy identification. The module also provides the necessary logic to restore a system from any selected backup, automatically reinstalling the required packages.
On the user interface side a new page has been added to the application's main window accessible from the sidebar. This page presents users with a straightforward interface where they can trigger a new backup view a list of all existing backups with details like creation date and size and restore or delete a backup as needed. All operations are handled with clear progress feedback and confirmation dialogs to prevent accidental actions.
This feature is designed to be intuitive for both new and experienced users offering a simple yet powerful way to manage driver backups. It is built on top of the existing system tools without introducing new external dependencies. The changes have been tested to ensure that the backup and restore processes work reliably providing a valuable addition to the tool's functionality. This pull request aims to enhance the overall user experience by offering greater control and peace of mind when managing system drivers.
