Backing up Flickr Photos

I went on a search today to find a way to backup my photos that I've stored on Flickr.

I started using Flickr a in 2006 to store all of my photos online so I could easily search and find any of my photographs from any internet-accessible computer.

Since then, we have seen prices drop and make laptops and mobile devices like the iPhone and Android more available to consumers. We've also seen better service use of Wi-Fi, 3G, and 4G.

My Flickr account is now wonderful and at my fingertips.

But what would happen if I lost this connection? What if I needed them and did not have these technological comforts to get me to my photos? Or what is a catastrophe occurred and somehow the Flickr servers exploded (in theory)?

My thought actually falls to the fact that I am responsible for my own property, and not a company that I know (and trust) because of the internet and what they wrote on a Terms of Service Agreement.

In short, back up my photos so I don't get upset one day down the road.

FlickrMud

If Flickr is being blocked in your workplace, you can try to access it using the secret FlickrMud.
Mum's the word on this. Don't share with your internet technicians. Maybe it will stay unblocked.
