Something that I've always had a problem with was watching old amvs of mine and thinking, "I should have done that differently" only to have my iMovie files deleted long before. I want to save them, but as is they take almost 30gigs by the end which is over half my entire hard drive capacity, and I even had to delete almost all of my anime to make room to continue editing it.
Is there any way to save it other than getting an external hard drive? Like, is there a way I could divide it up onto several dvds? What do you do in these situations?

I do just that. I save the entire project.
If you have a lot of data, you can actually take your project folder with ALL the files for the project in it and use WinRAR or something to segment them to 4.35GB chunks for efficent DVD fillage and burn to DVD Then you can unrar the set at a later date.
Personally, my projects mostly fit on one DVD. I export small 5-30 second long lossless segments from the source to edit with, I can usually burn the entire project to one DVD with the lossless segments and I can just hide them away to change at a later date.
