Many of the comments here, as well as some of the sources referenced, seem to be talking about “publishication” rather than “backup.” I use Flickr to share select images, usually edited, with others. To my tastes it works fine for this purpose. I don’t need anything else for it.
That's why I don't think Flickr would work as "backup". It's really only designed for sharing images - whether it be public or private.
What I’m looking for is a way to duplicate or possibly enhance my current back up system, which is two 1 TB firewire external drives managed with Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner. Regarding photography what I want basically is ability to create a copy of my photo directory as is and then make incremental backups to it as additions or changes are made to the original. I don’t want to show anyone my unedited DNG files. Earlier this year I had planned to create a new external drive-based system with much larger capacity drives accessible by wi-fi. I had identified the drives and a router and had talked with a tech-consultant friend about helping me set it up. Finances led me to hold up on proceeding with this idea. I may be ready to go ahead with it. Or, as a temporary backstop to my current system, I may give one of the cloud-based systems a try, likely Dropbox or CrashPlan.
