Some have a nasty habit of rewriting -- or even removing -- the meta-data in your photos. All of a sudden EXIF or IPTC data in the images gets changed and because its not immediately visible you don't realise until after they've migrated out onto your backups. I'd recommend making your photo libraries read-only, or even mounting the partition that they're on read-only.
