There have been a number of extrasolar planets discovered that might resemble Earth. However, due to the extreme recency of the technology, and even the idea that Earth might not be unique, there is very limited data from the search for habitable planets.

On a more theoretical note, if you take into account the trillions of known and estimated galaxies, and the trillions of stars in most galaxies, and the number of those stars that have planetary systems orbiting them, and the number of those planetary systems orbiting in the habitable zone, the number of possible Earth-like planets is really astonishing.
