I use Western Digital Passport drive for portable storage. Combined
with unison (bidirectional rsync), I can sync working directories of
multiple computers. It's important for me to sync address book,
browser bookmark, Firefox ScrapBook folders, and other current project
directories as I gave up on laptop and use multiple desktops in
offices and home. USB memory stick is too small. I love the idea of
having 120GB in my pocket, and at least 3 copies of important files.

Implicit in my process is to fix and tone test strips just like final
prints, but tone them first to make sure they are completely fixed.
This is simpler than using Na2S for testing and toner for toning.
