It simply grabs your drivers and categorises them, imo making it easier to figure out which driver is for what device.
For example I have under the location I save my drivers in:
System > Volume Manager > *then the actual drivers for the Volume Manager*
Dunno about you... but I wouldnt want all of the backed up drivers to be plonked all into one directory.

I would!! Atleast that way when you need to reinstall them, you could click 'search this folder' and it'll find it. If you put search this folder and point to the root folder you dumped all the drivers into (in their own subfolders), it won't find what it needs. That means you have 96 folders to try (if you don't know what you're looking for.. ie XP comes up with "Unknown Device" in the device manager).
Also, as I said, even if you know the driver you need is in a particular folder, double driver can sometimes miss files when it's updating. Don't get me wrong, it's still handy to have, and whenever I have to format an unknown PC that I don't have the drivers for, I take a backup with Double Driver, it just has it's flaws.
