Ah. Very good, I'll do that.
Oh, and I just got off the phone with my hosting service. Turns out my original hosting package, chosen six years ago, does in fact max out at 25 MB (because I obviously felt my site wouldn't grow so fast as to fill that up any time soon) -- but the database, attached only a few months ago, has a separate and unlimited storage space. I can upload files through the board, and the board can generate massive backups, which do not apply to the hosting limit.
This is, of course, a second good reason to change hosts, much as I'm loathe to leave an ISP that's served me reasonably well for nigh onto 20 years now. I am awaiting a call from their sales division so I can find out how much it would cost to double my available space at least for the short term, while I look for a new host. That had better be reasonably inexpensive, given how cheap MBs are these days; but once it's done I can both upload all the images rescued from the old board and finally upgrade the board software itself.
