I just bought one big exernal drive which is big enough to meet my  
needs for a while.  For archiving I write two copies of each DVD, one  
of which is stored offsite.

For burning I don't use any special software... Mac OS X does burning  
quite well by itself.  I did find an incompatibility between my  
burner and the new 16x discs: I have to burn them at 2x or the burn  
will hang while closing the session.  One of these days I might  
replace the burner with something a little more modern (it's only  
rated for 4x anyway).
