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 --Kevin On May 7, 2010, at 10:06 PM, Alan McConnell wrote: > • Is it possible to use the built-in backup/restore functions of > riak-admin to copy data between clusters?
