Thanks, Helix, That clears some of this up for me. I'm still a little mystified by what you say about backing up the Solr authority index. I know that Solr indexes are just files. I'll have to learn how to back up and restore of Solr indexes.
When you say you can deduplicate with CSV export, do you mean a CSV export from Solr? How would you get the CSV back in to Solr? Again my ignorance of Solr may be showing. As I understand the DSpace metadata export and import via CSV, there is no provision for specifying authority values. That would be an "unattended" submission, which then has to be corrected via metadata editing in the UI. Metadata editing in the UI is the only method I've been able to find for deduplicating authors.
