Social networking, sharing pictures and photo tagging are the most popular online activities these days. One such image sharing website is Flickr. Keeping a backup of all your images on Flickr is very easy.

In this tutorial, we use the “Flikr Edit” application which allows you to create a backup of all the images uploaded by you.
