That’s fairly obvious from my seat, most home users don’t even backup their computer, why’d they even think to do their pictures.

I am considering getting a second computer with lots of HDD space to allow for a third backup. I’m thinking of building a mini NAS.
This is where services like Flickr come in handy, or GMail.
