I've also, as I type, got my scanner running 120 negatives from the 40s and 
50s. 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.
