Saving images: Flickr vs. Picasa, which one do you prefer?

I am extremely happy with smugmug as a site to put my pictures on line. The cost is low, the feature set is great and it claims to be unlimited.

Its also effectively another location for my photos. But there is no way I consider it a backup of my photos. I don't trust any internet company with that (even though smugmug is great! I'd trust Yahoo and photobucket less). I backup to an external hard drive (which I hide in case somebody steals my PC). Every now and then I drop another copy of my important material with my parents in case disaster befalls and our house is destroyed.

When I was young I lost all my photos. That was a very painful experience for me. Its worth a bit of time and money to me to make sure it never happens again.

cheers,
david
