Hmm, it's not more tiring than taking back-up of normal files? Assuming it is digital photos. I just keep copies of mine on an external harddrive, and I also burn CDs/DVDs so I have a double back-up.
If it is analog pictures it is more complicated. You'd have to either take pictures of them (if it's slides) to keep a digital copy, or get them printed to keep printed copies, or possible take slides of the slides. If you have one of those special reproduction lenses, it is possible.

I have just started doing this, as my photos are my treasures, so now I am going through them all and backing them up and it is tiring, and I am even getting a lot of them printed out again as the printing from someoutlets is rather cheap...
