What is backup feature? Use the backup feature to store your original size photo. If you choose the backup feature, two copies of your picture are stored, one is the internet optimised to smaller size for web-viewing, the other is original size for archiving in it's original resolution. Should you backup? Yes and No. Yes, because you are allowed to photo edit your pictures and save it to your album. Incase you want to undo changes to the saved picture, the picture will be replaced by the backup copy. No, because it would mean taking up 2x of your alloted space.
