My children are getting into more activities as they get older and my school district is producing more digital video than you can imagine.

I've come to really like my Canon TX-1 digital video camera. It shoots exceptional video and very nice still shots directly to SD cards. This makes it extra easy to accumulate a bunch of footage that I would really hate to lose.

I try to back up my hard drive frequently but you know how that goes... I also like to keep an archive of video offsite by uploading to my favorite online video sharing site.

I like Vimeo because it allows unlimited file sizes and supports HD video. I worry, though, that Vimeo is not an online giant...meaning I worry about it's longevity. So I find that I also upload my video to YouTube... just because I think it will be around for a while.

To facilitate sharing my video clips to multiple sites I recently learned about TubeMogul from the recent edition of Macworld. TubeMogul allows you to upload once and share to many sites automatically. So if you, too, would like to upload your valuable family and classroom videos to multiple sites for safekeeping, then TubeMogul may be the ticket for you too!

EDIT: Of the many sites that TubeMogul can publish to, Vimeo is not ONE! Yikes! I was hasty and confused Veoh for Vimeo. Maybe it's not the answer I was hoping for.
