I'm a huge fan of Google's amazing prices on storage space. There are also third-party tools available for downloading albums without having Picasa installed. Simply go to File > "Import from Picasa Web Albums" and you can select which album(s) you want to download. If you have Picasa installed on your computer, you also have the option of downloading entire albums at a time through the web interface, or downloading multiple albums (or all your albums) through the Picasa client. From the PWA website you can download individual photos just as you would download any other file from the web. To "restore" (download from PWA) you again have options. I prefer to use full quality, and don't mind the fact that it also takes up the most storage space since it's rather cheap anyway. Picasa has several options for what quality the photos are uploaded at. Then you simply click "Sync to Web" and the album is uploaded to PWA. In Picasa, I create an album for each event and then add the appropriate photos to it. I sort all of my photos by event, so I already have folders on my computer with names such as "Mom's Birthday" or "Thanksgiving 2009". The best way to upload large quantities of photos into PWA is to use the Picasa client. Most of these methods have limitations of how much can be uploaded at a time. There's a whole bunch of ways to get your photos into PWA, including the web interface, email, and mobile device apps. With PWA, it's not really a "backup", more like an "upload".
