I "normally" work from one drive and when finished, "move" the film-roll
to another drive for storage, but I can later access and make changes if
necessary.  I loose no information, but my file structure at this point is
singular and definitely not complex, year-month-day by activity (primarily
youth soccer).  And my storage drive is no nfs.
