seagate backup software is just renamed version of acronis backup software.WD also has a similar renamed version of acronis.paragon backup free version or macrium reflect free version are better in terms of features.for a detailed review of these free backup softwares you can see this:

The answer to 'how is' will be relative. You can love one software & its interface and any second person can love another.
Personally, I find Segate's software a crap and same goes with WD's software. May be because I prefer to backup everything manually..

Its just a media backup. That's it. For backing up movies and stuff like that, you're lot better than the old fashion way. For backing up OS, acronis is the way to go.

How do you backup the OS manually And why do u think seagate and WD are crap?

Something from here is good as these are free:

^ crashplan plus is paid, but crashplan is completely free. It's a very good product.
