My main machine is ancient by most PC standards but was almost a killer when I bought it back in either late 2010 or early 2011. I needed a machine in a hurry, so I didn't build my own and bought it from Dell, an XPS 8100 with an i7/2.93ghz, 1TB hd and 16Gig of DRAM. Still runs reasonably well today, fwiw....

>> I'm not always the best on nomenclature but the 3-2-1 method is similar to how I've been operating for years. Same here. Depends on the software situation, though. If I'm on Windows Server, I configure that built-in backup with 4-8 TB of storage (we don't need anywhere near that in most sites, but it is cheap) and just let it run every night or in some cases twice a day. Then, a cloud backup using block-by-block storage (which dramatically reduces the storage & time requirements) for a serious recovery problem. You don't want to be caught with a single mode of backup ever, that's certain.
