I've been going through photos from Halfway Hall, and a lot of them have been taken vertically. The Canon camera I use (a compact) has a gravity sensor that can autorotate photos for you as it writes them; the way it does this is by using an EXIF tag which tells you how the image should be oriented. For example, if I take a picture with the camera rotated by 90 degrees:

% identify -format '%[EXIF:Orientation]' ./IMG_1120.JPG

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

• a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
• H: preserves hard-links
• A: preserves ACLs
