Backups are very serious business and if the Shotwell development team would be willing to take on the challenge I will support the feature. Their is nothing like losing all your photos after a disk crash. Experienced it once, not fooling myself twice.
Backup is indeed *very* serious business, and hence I think it's not shotwell's responsibility to handle it. If every program I have tries to backup it's data, I have to verify lots of different backup mechanisms + it would probably mess up my backup.
I've been using the multi_backup.sh found on the lower part of http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/121604 for local backup and plain rsync for remote backup for years, works like a charm, it's *very* fast, and stores files just like that.
I'm sure other people have other suggestions for backup, but I really think it would be a waste of energy to implement a backup feature in shotwell.
