Seagate Replica
$140.00
Released May, 2009
The Pros:Extremely simple backup software, a few clicks later and you are on your way. Backups can be password protected, great for multiple users. Includes a dock that can be used by multiple computers at the same time.
The Cons:Compatible with Windows only, disappointing to see a single OS device in 2009. Backup recovery features are picky, can only restore on identical computers, does not play well across multiple PCs.
The Seagate Replica is an automated hard drive backup device. Upon being plugged in via USB, the unit automatically checks online for updated software, installs it if necessary, and starts copying everything on the hard drive onto itself.

An indicator light blinks while it works. When finished, it can be accessed like any other portable drive to retrieve individual files. To recover your entire hard drive's contents, plug it in, turn on your PC, and insert the included boot-up CD. Restoration is automatic.
Note: this device is compatible with Windows only.
