With regards to photos, I'm most concerned about photos posted to the permanent forums. I don't want to be in a position where old, unviewable photos are clogging up our server space. For Sale posts delete after 1 month, but those photos remain in the server. We are stuck with those. However, photos in PMs are never seen by the forum community. I would rather not add them to the server load.
For what it is worth, PMs probably shouldn't be used as 'records' in the long run. While we will do our best to keep this place running, server issues happen. For important communications, you should have a copy on your own system. I think it would best to send additional photos by email. That way you don't have to deal with anything more than your own email system. As always, keep an archive of your photo files.
