We have three Final Cut suites with AJA cards in our office. All suites have their own media drives. We are doing lot of short projects. That is many editors and many projects going on at the same time. Because we want to have backups so that everything is in one folder (called by project name) we are working like this:

-FCP project files are in one drive.
-Mediadrives have PROJECT (named by that project) folder and inside that we have all graphics, imagesequences, motion and shake files. We also have folder called “fcp_f”. Each projects capture scratch (etc) are here.

When we make backups (DLT, Ultrium, firewire drive) we just drag FCP project to this PROJECT folder and backup this folder. We usually do not backup renderfiles. When you jump from project to project you have to remember changa your scratch disk to that spesific fcp_f (mediadrive-PROJECT FOLDER-fcp_f). This works for us but it still is quite pain. I am not sure if this is best solution but haven
