The Replica backs up the entire contents of a Windows PC hard drive, operating system, and all; simple setup; restoring a system is easy; step-up 500GB model offers option for backing up multiple PCs.

Seagate set out to create a hassle-free backup solution, and the company has achieved its goal with the $199 Replica. For families or users with multiple PCs, the Replica is a foolproof way to ensure that a system failure is not permanent. The inabilit...
Insanely simple backup; sleek design (500GB model includes dock); backs up entire system, which can be restored with included bootable CD
Slow; can’t drag and drop or copy and paste specific files to the drive; you back up either everything or nothing
Seagate’s Replica backup drive is as dead-simple a backup solution as we’ve ever seen. You just plug in the USB cables and it works. But that level of simplicity comes with a few caveats that all but the most casual of PC users might not like...
