Our company has over 200tb of archival footage we would like to keep, currently stored entirely on external drives dating back to 2013 and then past that it’s on Mini DV or Betacam mostly.

Was looking at tape as it would seem on the surface to be the cheapest option but being hard to compress this footage I’m not so sure. A JBOD would be nice but cost of hard drives is insane really.

Mostly a nice to have but we would spend the spend it if it made sense (like 2-4k maybe?)

To clarify: this is old footage from past projects likely never to be used. So, no offsite backups required or anything to that level. Just looking for options like Yes use LTO6 or whatever
