almost done re setting everything up after a catastrophic failure (ended up replacing multiple drives, the CPU, the motherboard, the psu, and the ram).
now I'm just running long command after long command, waiting for drives to zero, ensuring extended smart checks pass on new drives, cloning to my backup drives...
this things been down for a few weeks and I'm so excited to have it back up soon!
anyways, moral of the story is, the 3-2-1 strategy is a good strategy for a lot of reasons. just do it, it may save your ass down the line.
