I have two locations.  One is at home where it's handy, the other is  
at my partner's office.

As for negs/prints, they sit on shelves here at home.  I guess the  
scans are the backups :)

Just an airtight container with a pack of silica gel inside.

Be wary of any fire-rated box: fire ratings generally only apply to  
paper contents which can withstand much higher temperatures than  
plastic.

Whenever there's enough to fill a DVD.

Use good media - it doesn't cost that much.  Store your backups well.
