Once a project is finished and exported to DVD, what is the next step. Do you keep back ups on a HD, print to Video, etc ? What are the best ways to archive stuff other than HD's ? When you print to video does it just send the sequence to DV tape ? What do you do ?
 
I output the master to tape. If DV, then DV, if DVCPRO HD, then DVCPRO HD. If I am required to deliver an HDCAM master, I output to that, then make clones for me to keep. That is one thing.

Then I export self contained QT Movies using the sequence settings. This I archive to hard drive (two actually...for safety). These I can use to make DVDs, or bring into a project to edit my demo reel, or if another output is needed I have these...whatever.

I archive all the stills, music, project files, Motion and After effects renders to DVD. P2 footage is backed up on hard drives, and footage that I have on tape, the tape is put in cold storage, or shipped to the network (as they often require).
