[FW] F/W Video Cam for Back ups?

[kochkodin]

Look into DV Backup. You can download it from www.macdownload.com by 
doing a search for DV Backup. Its shareware but works well once you pay 
for it to unlock it from a very limited mode. I agree that a external FW 
or USB drive is a better way to go however, no need to swap and replace 
wore out tapes. DV tapes are expensive and I wouldn't trust them to last 
more than a few years at the most.
