Everything initially gets uploaded to my 'Work in progress' folder then after any postwork the image gets saved in a seperate folder (leaving the original in place) when that folder has reached the equivalent size of a  what will fit on a CD I start a new one. I also keyword my images with the location and a short description, no more than two or three words. I use 'Picasa' to keep track of folders and also have albums for landscapes, flowers, nature etc. Once a month I backup to CD and harddrive.

It may seem a bit long-winded but it works for me. :)
