Back up Flickr Photos With Flickr Backup

I use Flickr quite a bit and was wondering if there was any way to backup photos from the service using an application of some kind, and it turns out there is.

flickr backup will easily connect to your Flickr account and you can pick’n'choose whatever you want to retrieve. You can backup individual photos or sets. And yes you can mass-select easily.

In this example I’ll show how to backup a set:

Above: These are the sets in my photostream. I checked off the first one and clicked the "Backup Selected" button at the bottom.

The next screen asks me where I’d like to backup my photos to. I can choose to backup direct to the hard drive or CD/DVD. I can even ZIP them up if I want to (very nice).

I chose to backup to the hard drive and clicked the "Start Backup" button at the bottom right.

This is what the backup process looks like.

Once the download is finished, that’s it. Your Flickr photos are backed up. Simple and easy.

The application by the way is free.

    Flickr Backup has been dead since Flickr.com ‘expired’ the API for it a year ago. I don’t know how you recently had it working.
