Has anyone else tried FlickrBackup yet?
It pretty much does what its name implies, goes onto your Flickr account and downloads all the photos you select, for backup purposes.
What I’d really like to see is an option for backing up all the meta data as well (comments, descriptions, etc.). That’s the only thing that I don’t like about these kinds of services - getting your data “locked in” to their site. As of now, they don’t give you an option for exporting the meta data easily, but thankfully (from a brief glance at the API), it looks like this is possible, so maybe someone will do this eventually in an application like this.
