I just backup all of my photos to DVD, and once a year I dig up all of
my DVD's and reburn them on whatever is the newest media. This year I
consolidated a lot of older CD's onto 1 DVD.  Then just store them in
a folder vertically and keep out of the sunlight or heat.

As for resizing I just use mogrify.
