Run unattended and automatically back up any new photos or changes to albums.
Back up not just of the photos and videos themselves (with their EXIF tags) but also arranged into the albums the way they are on Flickr. In the event of the Flickrpocalypse, I decided I wanted a local copy of our photos, one that I can hold in my hand - not a copy to another cloud service. It is possible that one of these days, Yahoo will announce that they are shutting the platform down and give us a few months to find a new home for our photos, or perhaps they will experience an infrastructure disaster that takes a long time to recover from.
