Earlier this year I came across various archive systems based on automatic DVD burning "jukeboxes". As I understood it they generally involve a dedicated pc on the network. Any data to be archived is simply copied to this pc and it automatically divides it into DVD sized chunks and burns the disk - all you have to do is load stacks of blanks in the top and pull the burned ones out the bottom. Some of them even have a printer built in to label the disks.
The clever bit is that a file copied to this archive location stays there even after it has been burned and deleted from the hard drive so to find an old file you just search the archive, double click the file and you get a message saying which DVD it is on. I did not pursue this solution on grounds of cost, but I would be interested to hear from anyone who has used something like this.
