And I also use rsync to backup from one machine to another, but I'll also burn them onto DVDs when I get a disk full. Off topic a bit, but what are you doing with the negatives when you've scanned them? You must not store them in anything made from PVC because it gives off acid fumes. Somebody on ebay.co.uk is doing polypropylene fronted envelopes intended for stamp collectors, but I suggested he show them in the photographic section too.
