    If you've got a spare hard drive knocking around, you can buy a Raspberry Pi3 for about £30 and with a bit of easy coding and a website you can make your own Time Capsule.

    If you want backup of photos, I use both the free Flickr and Google Photos backup

    Depends rather on what sort of size image files you are talking about and how many.

    If you are looking at, say, c. 25MB RAW files from a higher end camera in any significant quantity the upload speed on domestic broadband becomes a real issue.

    Interesting thought about the Pi although if you need to buy a new hard disk for it the savings reduce somewhat. If it is your main backup it seems rather false economy to rely on a middle aged hard disk you had knocking around.
