I have an older system (P266) running Windows ME. Among other reasons, I keep it around to view my web pages under Windows ME versions of IE and other browsers. Let's not forget that a non-trivial percentage of users are still running Windows ME and before. I want to see what they see, and as I add new bells and whistles to my websites, I want to make sure that the new features don't break in these older OSes and browsers.

As for backups, I use Norton Ghost to mirror the system monthly. I retain these monthly backups going back at least three months.
