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.
