Depends on your budget.
If you have a big budget, you can look into LTO 3 which hold 400GB uncompressed, 800GB compressed per tape, but I wouldn’t archive compressed.
If you’re budget is significantly lower, inexpensive SATA or ATA drives seem to be the common solution.
Nothing is failsafe though. It’s all about how long term you plan to keep your archives.

Subject: Only $1000!!!!No, I will not add file transferring to the shooting methodology, there are enough technical details to focus on for good pix and sound, file transferring on set adds,,,, what production value to the shooting?<<< If you plan to shoot with the HVX200 at all, I feel file transfer should be a must in the production workflow. Even a hard drive system can fail, so between setups, it can't hurt to just have data transferred to a backup drive.

I had asked one of the Panasonic reps at Cinegear if the footage captured in 24p mode both as 720 and 1080 would be at be at 24(23.98) fps minus the 2-3. I was told that if capturing at 720 it would be, but not at 1080. 1080 footage would have 2-3 in it and would have to go through the NLE or some other software to remove it.
This is unfortunate if you have a lot of clips that need the 2-3 removed. It wastes both time and storage space.
Maybe this will be resolved before the production camera ships or will be corrected in a future revision.

>>>>>>Cutting film out of the movie and still industry makes sense, Film beautiful but very expensive and scary stuff. Its prone to scratches and dirt and damage and weave and flicker and bad processing or handling etc. etc. etc. <<<< Oh please, film has been used for 100 years, used on thousands of productions. It still have a superior image and will outlast any tape format as an archival format. Sure it's fragile and accidents happen, but anyone with any experience knows how to handle it. Film won't be around forever, but what replaces it won't be HD, it'll be something higher than 2k, have the same or greater dynamic range and will be the new high end format to covet.
