Backing up HD need to dub to HD tape?

on end note to this subject guys, then when Apple calls a software Final Cut Express HD, there is nothing inherent in the software that makes it special for high def, correct?

I originally thought, that hey, they have HD in title of the software, hence you must have HD in title of software to be able to work with HD video, but that's just a PR thing right? putting HD in title. Any, and all old FCP software’s can work with HD correct?

That's incorrect. For example, non-HD versions of FCE and iMovie will not work w/HDV, FCP 5 is the first FCP to work with HDV, and FCP 4.5 was the first FCP to work w/DVCPro HD.

Why can't they work with HD?
