I file the negs in sleeves and store them in binders on a shelf. So far, iMatch seems quite stable. I scan negs to removable USB drives, and iMatch keeps the thumbs/catalog database on the main HD. iMatch has all sorts of nice cataloging options. My backup script backs up the USB drive and the catalog database to a network attached large drive on a Unix machine. Works pretty well so far.
