It's easy solution, just bindle a backup software into the USB disk, but I think it should be work on this brand USB disk. I found a third parter software call USB backup http://www.backupusb.com it's better way to solve the USB backup and do not bindle any brand USB disk.

@b: Brainless restore? Not so much. It's image-based. Firstly you can only restore to the PC you backed up from with no hardware changes, and secondly you will have the same problems you had before the backup if it's due to a virus or other software problem. This is a rebrand of Rebit which is also a terrible solution. 250 GB is not enough for image backup anyway. Image backup requires the backup drive being bigger than the original drive.

@interested_party: Their data sheet says it has to be Windows XP SP2 or higher, or Vista. You can forget about Win2k, Server 2003 or any Mac OS. Doesn't say it's Windows 7 compatible either, but that may come.

This will make it a dream come true for small home businesses wanting to do backups. I can think of a few people who would love this device.

I'd rather have control over which files I'd like to backup. And seeing as most desktop computers have more than 250GB of hard disk space nowadays, that 250GB on the Replica will go fast seeing as it backs everything up.

You can pick up a 250GB hard disk and an external hard disk enclosure that'll together cost just around $70. For strictly backup purposes, that'll give much more bang for the buck.

Then again, didn't the INQ say this thing is for the brainless?

This is great, wait till people complain because they lost their blurtooth mouse and blame the device for NOT backing it up.

*would* be great. Brainless restore -plug it into your dead computer and watch a wait bar an hour or so and presto...

back-up is one thing.does it offer brainless restore as well?
