N-val is configurable through default bucket props.

AFAIK there's currently no way change server defaults for R, W and DW.

Thanks Kevin,
Is there a way to set a default N (and R/W) value across a cluster via configuration? I know there's a default_props feature in configuration but I don't know if it's possible to use that for default N/R/W values and I don't know what the syntax is.

In case anyone was wondering I went ahead and tried a backup/restore between production and test and it worked just fine. Restoring from a backup file will work across different clusters.

Alan -

I can't answer your replication questions -- don't have a lot of experience with it yet -- but I can take a stab at setting the global replication setting.

If I'm understanding correctly I believe you're referring to the N value. N controls how many replicas of an entry Riak stores, in total, around the cluster. Docs on tuning this value can be found here: http://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/Replication

The scenario is that we have separate test and production environments, each with separa te riak clusters of different sizes and configurations. Every so of ten we'd like to copy the data from production into test. Can I run 'backup all' in prod, then run restore on the resultant file in tes t, and have everything work? Or does restore only work on the same cluster configuration that the backup was performed on?
