If you're shooting DV or another format with timecode, using FCP or Avid to edit, and making sure to log your clips with correct reel names/number, just archive the project files, which don't take much space.
The tapes then become your video backup, since you can always recapture offline clips. If you're also using stills and audio files, those will need to be backed up as well since they don't have timecode.
