We store all our tapes in locked metal cabinets away from windows or heating ducts. Probably have about 30 of them now. Not just the camera masters but the beta and dvcam edit masters.

We are racing to capture everything on hard drive at the moment. Multiple copies across hdd's and tapes.

Another tip for storing tape for a long time is to stack them vertically. When you stack them horizontal the tape can eventually mushroom towards the bottom from the weight destroying the edge.

And like AdPatron said label everything.
