Pictures are the worst for backing up, actually no backing up someone else's pictures is worse.
Parents for example, my mom takes a lot of pictures she wants to keep I take lots of pictures I don't care about.
Semi-wheneverly when I manage to get the card from the parent's camera or cellphone to back up it's usually a mess of I backed up 63% of these so which ones are new. Is IMG0003.JPG the same as IMG0003.JPG I saved already wait no one is 2MB and the other is 3.25MB.
Meld helps but it's the same thing what do I have and what is new and what is different with the same name but is different which I just happen to notice due to the file size.
So I end up dumping it all onto something or multiple somethings and swear I'll figure it out next time. Goto step 1.
Most pictures nowadays come with EXIF data with the date. I just (automatically) rename them to {date}-{counter}.jpg and let git-annex deduplicate any repeated files.
