THE AVCHD WORKFLOW – ARCHIVING
Once your project is finished, you will want to archive your High Definition AVCHD footage (not just your Apple
Intermediate Codec footage).
There are a number of options available at this time depending on your budget and how
long you want to keep the footage. How long you want to keep your footage is a very important question when dealing
with Archiving.
The answer to “How Long You Want To Keep It?” will determine what media you store it on today.
If you
want to keep your data for 1-10 years, you have many options, but if you must keep your material for 20 years or longer,
then your options decrease.
And regardless of the media you choose today, be prepared to move your data as new
improved storage becomes available.
KEY POINT #4.
THE SECRET TO SUCCESSFUL ARCHIVING OF ANY FILE BASED MEDIA IS REDUNDANCY AND
MIGRATION.
Make multiple copies and move your data as technology advances.

Migrate your data.
