Eric,
From what I know, you can make photos private on Flickr.
So, that should resolve your issue (2). Just make the "backups" private.
I suspect, however, there is no way to clearly separate "backups" area
from the rest.
I am not using Flickr myself (my wife does), - so, I don't know if you
can set "private" as a default for all uploaded photos, or you'd have to
set it manually after uploading...
As for (1), - I am not sure... it probably depends on your workflow.
I am not aware of an "automatic backup from computers" to Flickr tools.
But maybe they've created something...
Just in case, - if you have Amazon Prime, - that offers unlimited storage
of photos in the cloud. But the same logistics questions remain. So, the
only advantage is the "unlimited".
But then the question is - what is your bandwidth and the traffic cap with
your ISP, - how long will it take you to upload your photos...

Two questions: [1] Is using Flickr as backup realistic in the first place?
[2] Is it possible to keep backups and photostream separate?
Thanks,
