Hi David -The archival aoftware is the easy part. On a Mac, run iTunes. It offers the enormous advantage of integrating all the aspects of the process: ripping, tagging, organizing and sharing. Besides which, I am not sure there is another choice...
As for back-up software (the other interpretation of archiving), something like Chronosync, or even the Mac back-up software which comes free with a membership in .Mac is all you need to create a back-up hard drive and update it periodically.
I recommend that you buy two identical hard drives between 300-500Gb in size and use them exclusively for your iTunes Library and the back up of same. Depending on the Mac you get, you can get SATA drives (preferable) or your choice of USB or FireWire. Any of the formats is fast enough for the data transfer rates you need for playback, but the SATA will yield much faster back-ups.
