ok im posting to see if what i suggest is deemed popular by the more senior members of the forum! i would say it depends on how much you want to archive. im guessing that the videos wont be small files, so i would suggest a large hard drive set up with RAID1. that way, your files are kept on a hard drive, and backed up too! depending on how you have to store, you yourself can determine the size of the drive you need.

the problem is i need to keep costs down but to be future proof as well. chances are every week or two id be addin 80mins of video and a few photos and also trying to digitise some old stuff as well. also are there any good software apps that might help keep track of everything?

i dont know about the software apps, but if you are storing 80 mins of video footage every week, there is going to come a point in the near future where a lot of storage space will be neccessary. there is software that can reduce filesizes (like winzip, winrar etc) but i cant recommend any as i dont use any. maybe someone else can help there? you can keep costs down, a couple of 500gb hard drives are not going to set you back much.
