Seagate Replica - If You Don't Take Care Of Copies!

Replica is unfortunately not a helpful tool for the article writer as you can hardly write about it. There are no lengthy installations or configurations to demonstrate, no buttons and switches to click on.

The Replica is a simple yet eye-catching device on your desktop that you need to plug a USB cable into, connect the other end to your machine, and you're essentially done.

Seagate has launched this device in two versions. We got the smaller storage capacity piece, which works with a 250 GB 5400 rpm hard drive. This smaller device - and we’re not thinking about external dimensions here - is recommended for those who want to archive data from a machine. There is also a larger version of 500 GB. This is recommended by the manufacturer for several machines, it also comes with a dock, which allows you to connect several machines. So the unit that came to us is the simpler piece, without a dock. All we have to do with this is hide it in the back corner of the table so you don’t get in the way. Of course, if the owner didn’t want to plug it in, we’d understand, too, since he got a pretty cottage with a long blue light strip on the front that flashes to us during data backup to let us know that the device is working.

So installation is easy. The cable is connected, the software is installed, the icon of which can be seen next to the clock. Right-clicking on this icon will open a short menu. Here you can update your software, select other storage for archiving, and set a password in case you fear that your data could fall into unauthorized hands.

Is there anything else? Of course not! The operation of the Replica is exhaustive in this respect, at least apparently, since the little fake is working in the background. When we first connect it to our machine, we apologize for hours. It went to everything, Windows, the program files directory, the documents, our settings, in a word, everything you find. If we are beyond the first backup, there is no end to your work, as you are constantly monitoring changes on your machine, including changes in the size of these files. So if you write it to a document later, it will make another backup of the file. Depending on the storage space, there may be multiple backups of a given file, so you can even restore an earlier version. As the Replica runs out of space, it deletes older files to free up space for newer backups. So this tool can’t really be used for anything other than keeping our data and even our complete system safe. In the event of a failure, we are able to restore our entire working system from it, so at the cost of a few hours of copying, we can continue working again - or the game - where we finished.

And this is where our article ends. Any additional sentences would be unnecessary word multiplication, as is this sentence. In summary, all we can say is that those who have already lost their data will probably be happy to run to the store for Replica, and those who have not yet suffered such a fate should listen to us and consider purchasing it well in advance, do not start our article think about what is described when it is too late.

Replica is not cheap, the gross price of the piece we visited is HUF 22. But the price of our data can be much more than that, they are often invaluable to us, so compare that purchase price to that, and the next time you start thinking about buying a faster video card because the current one isn’t the latest, remember that before we’re spending money on the new VGA, before that make sure your data is secure, like with Seagate Replica!

The Seagate Replica is a From Bluchip we got it to try, thanks for it!
