Edited DV or HDV on backup tapes don't exclude everything practical kept together on one large online harddisk or even on another removeable harddisk in a datasafe. In general, as for other computer data or information, I just cannot trust on just harddisk only. I think it is too risky to have so much data consentrated on just a unit or two that can crash tomorrow due to a electro-mechanical failure. Then everything may be gone in worst case. On "primitive mecanical" or manual tapes the data and risk also become spread over several units. This doesn't need to be miniDV tapes, but also larger capacity backup streemer tapes on computers. Next BluRay or HD-DVD also become alternatives beside.
