Your footage outlives the project.

18TB

Native capacity per tape. Years of camera originals in a case smaller than a paperback.

30+ YRS

Rated archival life. Drives are built to be replaced every few years. Tape is built to be kept.

OFFLINE

Once it's written, a tape isn't plugged into anything. Nothing to hack, nothing to renew. It waits on the shelf until you call for it.

01

Archive Service

Send us your drives or cards. We write them to LTO-9, verify every file with Hedge Canister, and return your drives with the tapes and a full index of what's on them.

02

LTO-9 Machine Rental

Dry hire of our MagStor LTO-9 drive for teams who want to run their own archive. Pickup in Victoria, BC.

03

Archive Workflow Setup

We audit how your media is stored today and design an archive workflow your team can actually keep up with: naming, verification, tape rotation, and retrieval.

Indigenous Nations & Organizations

Language recordings, Elder interviews, ceremony and land-based footage. Archived for generations and held on the community's terms.

Production Companies

Move wrapped projects off working storage without deleting a single camera original.

Agencies

Campaign masters and raw assets you'll be asked for again in five years.

Photographers

A career of RAW files on a handful of tapes, not a closet of spinning drives.

01 — SEND

Drop off or ship your drives and cards to our Victoria office.

02 — WRITE

Everything is written to LTO-9 tape in the open LTFS format.

03 — VERIFY

Hedge Canister compares every file on tape against the source. Nothing leaves our hands until it matches.

04 — DELIVER

Your drives come back with labelled tapes and a record of exactly what lives on each one.
