We are still working this out. We just started shooting with it a couple weeks ago. I would feel more comfortable with not having to save the footage on external drives on a shelf, and look forward to high capacity DVDs.
But just for the record, tapes need to be kept in dry safe places too, and also are prone to degration over time. I feel that drives are about as safe as tapes. But still an expensive form of archiving.
We’ll see what the futur holds. Until then, hard drives on a shelf in a dry cool space. No double backups. Don’t even do those with tapes.

Hi:
Like Shane, I have been shooting with the HVX-200 for about two weeks. We are using a similar workflow with P2 with the exception of we are archiving to a hard drive as well as dual layer DVDs. It’s time consuming but we re-use a lot of the footage we shoot as stock footage so we need to be doubly sure that the archival material works, hence the hard drive and dual layer DVD backup.
I predict that with P2, the advent of ACs will come back into play. I did a two camera HVX shoot on Wednesday and we had a PA/AC who was downloading the cards to the P2 stores and reformatting them and handing them back to us. He was also making frequent trips to my G4 laptop to verify that the the P2 stores were reading the files okay, that the media was really there to assuage my boss who was on set and nervous about the P2 workflow. I have to say, P2 is great for shooting but doing this double backup stuff is VERY time consuming.
Best,
Dan

I Just have to say, that my first capture from the HVX-200 didn’t go well.
Some of the files became corupted. Digital Dropouts.
I figured out that it was the fault of the firewire cable that I was using.
I switched cables and re-imported the footage.
The footage looked good the second time around.
Good thing for double checking the shots before I deleted them from the card. -
