We report on the past (first replicated Xray mirror has been produced by our group almost 40 years ago), present and future of replication of X-ray optics with emphasis on grazing incidence optics of various types and geometry. The various types of X-ray optics produced by replication with emphasis on astronomical optics are described and summarized. It is shown that the replicated X-ray optics is expected to still play a major role in future space experiments and projects such as the ESA/NASA/JAXA IXO project and other coming space missions.
