I did (am doing) something very similar. I definitely have issues with my indexing, but I’m just ordering it manually by year/date for now.
I’m doing a little extra for parity though. I’m using 50-100gb discs for the data, and using 25gb discs as a full parity disc via dvdisaster for each disc I burn. Hopefully that reduces the risk of the parity data also being unreadable, and gives MORE parity data without eating into my actual data discs. It’s hard enough to break up the archives into 100gb chunks as is.
Need to look into bacula as suggested by another poster.
