...pick a drive, and it does the rest. Once you do a full backup (which takes some time), you can ask it to do incremental backups, only saving changed or new photos to the archive. You can backup to CDs or DVDs, though it helps to buy an external USB or FireWire drive for this...

Since the V-Phone must plug directly into a PC, it can be a bummer if that PC is hidden under a desk. And the service's sound quality, coming through that headset...
