Thanks, I am crippled by a very slooowwww wet string ADSL connection so it isn't really practical. I do have back up strategies in place for important stuff on networked drives/flash drives/DVD's but for the pictures I'd overlooked them really!

I didn't, actually - but I'm happy to take credit due to others

That's not really an issue with IDrive, you can schedule the backups to only run at 3 A.M. on a tuesday morning if you like.
Then you just have to remember to leave your computer switched on overnight once a week.

Good point. However, since having a PC's power supply burst into flames last year, I'll no longer leave one switched on for long periods unsupervised!

Then how about something like one of these

From under 50 notes for quick and easy offsite backup.

Great idea, I have a Toshiba 500Gb USB drive that I got a few weeks ago for about £55
