Backing up to DVD's? I guess if you don't shoot much or are very selective on what is being archived. A word of caution, make sure the DVD's are stored correctly and not near destroying items like sunlight or ventilation registers etc... While not exactly the same, this method is more reminiscent of the floppy being used to backup a computer, ie many small ones to equal the capacity of something larger for the sake of portability and archival storage. At some point that model breaks down under its own weight.
Actually used Archive Creator for a short time. It was good for what it did and might still be if its capability were to also support hard drives. Once I reached 75+ DVD's it just started to make less sense and was too cumbersome to effectively manage. BTW: this was before Blu-Rays were available, which was probably a blessing in that I learned early on to find a better way.
IMHO its time to consider a change. A simple toaster dock ie external dock that allows a hard drive to be push in it. 1 or 2 Tb sized drives are dirt cheap.
Then of course, there's the matter of developing a backup strategy to accompany it.
