Back UP storage options???

My internal HD is almost full, so my external 80Gb disk. Mostly filled with
iMovie projects and other media files some of which I could archive but I
don't want to permanently delete them.
Yes I could buy a 120Gb (or even larger) second internal disk - and I
probably will - but this would fill up too unless I can archive these
somehow, hopefully economically and reliably.
What does the list recommend for storage like this? Some of these projects
are 20Gb or so. I do have Retrospect (express which came with Norton).
-I don't see tape drives advertised or pushed like they used to be. Are
these still viable? Do they have OS X compatible drivers?
-I do have a SuperDrive - I could use DVD media as file storage, I don't
know how this would work but after burning iDVD's (which can take several
hours) I'm thinking it would be slow. But the blanks are getting cheap.
-Zip drives? Aren't they small capacity and expensive for the blank disks?
Any other thoughts? All advice is welcome. (FYI - I have a newer G4)
