This is not about a perfect backup system. The point is that I have
hundreds of DVDs that I don't particularly want to sort out, but
they are pretty useless from a management standpoint in their
current form. ZFS + dedup would be the way to at least get them all
in one place, where at least I can search, etc.---which is pretty
much impossible on a stack of disks.
I also don't want file-level dedup, as a lot of these disks are a
"oh, it's the end of the day; I'm going to burn what I worked on
today, so if my computer dies I won't be completely stuck on this
project..."
Wow, you are going to like snapshots and redundancy a whole lot
better, as a solution to that.

File-level dedup would be a nightmare to sort out, because of lots
of incremental changes---exactly the point of block-level dedup.
This is not an organized archive at all; I just want to consolidate
a bunch of old disks, in the small case they could be useful, and
do it without investing much time.
So does anyone know of an autoloader solution that would do this?
