Getting Started with the Seagate Replica Automatic Backup System 
Welcome to the Seagate Replica automatic backup system! Below are some useful concepts you may want to know right away. 
Replica’s First Steps
 
Replica begins by making a one-time catalog of your PC’s entire disk drive. This process can take several hours, so be patient and  
let it run to completion. You can use your PC as usual during this time. To speed up the cataloging process, temporarily disable your 
anti-virus software. Learn more in “Initial Cataloging”.
Safely Disconnect 
When you want to disconnect your PC from Replica, you should first inform Windows  
of your intent to assure data integrity: 
1. Right-click on the Replica icon in the system tray, highlighted here. This brings up a  
  Replica menu. 
2. Click on Safely Disconnect. You are notified when Replica is ready to be unplugged. 
Using Replica
Replica backs up your entire PC to the device. Whenever Replica is connected to your PC, it automatically captures file changes so that 
your PC is automatically and continuously backed up. 
If Replica is disconnected from your PC, it catches up with the computer as soon as it’s reconnected. The time required to catch up with 
all changes depends on how extensive the changes are. To ensure that your backup is synchronized with your PC, you may want to 
allow a few minutes for Replica to catch up before you continue using your PC. 
Learn more in “Using Replica”. 
Seeing Backup Information 
Hold the mouse over a file’s icon to see backup information about the file. Hold the mouse over the Replica icon in the system tray to 
see backup information about your PC. Learn more in “Obtaining Backup Information”. 
Restoring Prior File and Folder Versions 
Replica lets you easily restore older versions of files and folders from your Replica backup. Learn more in “Finding and Restoring Files 
and Folders using Windows Explorer” or “Finding and Restoring Files and Folders using the Replica Browser”. 
Recovering Deleted Files 
Replica lets you easily recover deleted files, even if the Recycle Bin has been emptied. Learn more in “Recovering Deleted Files”. 
Backing Up Several PCs 
Each Replica can back up multiple different PCs, one at a time. While a PC is connected to Replica, it is continuously and automatically 
backed up. When it is 
not connected to the PC, Replica catches up when the PC is later reconnected. Learn more in “Automatic and 
Continuous Backup”. 
If your PC is one of several that use the same Replica, you may want to password-protect your Replica backups so that others cannot  
inadvertently gain access to files backed up from your PC. Password-protected backups are available only to those who know the 
password for that PC. Learn more in “Using the Replica Icon Right-Click Menu”. 
Note: To access a password-protected Replica backup, you must know its password. 
Hard Disk Recovery 
Replica protection means you can fully recover from a hard disk catastrophe. Learn more in “Full Hard Disk Recovery”. 
Anti-Virus Programs 
Replica does not replace anti-virus software. However, it may be able to help you in an emergency situation.  
Learn more in “Replica and Viruses”. 
Automatic Updates 
If your PC is connected to the Internet, Replica periodically checks with a secure Seagate server to see if updated software is available.  
No information is sent from your computer. 
Whenever an update to Replica becomes available, you will be prompted to accept or decline the update. If you accept, the software is 
downloaded and automatically installed. Your current backups are not affected, but you are assured that you have the most up-to-date 
software available. Learn more in “Automatic Updates”.
