I hope this server is being backed up after all of this time spent on

Your question asking about backups was important because no, I don't
know what backups exist of the machines. Based on previous experience,
there are none. So I have run Crashplan for just this reason.
Additionally, I got a notice CP wasn't running since the 26th so I just
started the service again. i.e. service crashplan start
I've added the credentials for the crashplan service to sysadmins/accounts.

anything else we should be backing up?

Finally, could you look this over and add it to InfraNotes2017?
Crashplan
Crashplan is sometimes used to backup SpamAssassin project machines as
an additional safety valve.
Credentials:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/sysadmins/accounts/crash.pccc.com.enc.README
To configure the client, choose what gets backed up, etc., you have to
interface with the client. When working with remote machines, you can
install the client locally and use SSH to port forward to remotely
administer things. They call this managing a headless box.
See
https://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/4/Configuring/Use_CrashPlan_on_a_headless_computer_version_4.2_and_earlier
for more details.
