[volunteergrid2-l] Recommended settings

[Marco Tedaldi]

Hello Everyone

I'm sorry to flood this otherwise quiet list with so many mails. My
apologies.

I've got some questions about the recommended settings:

Client Settings:
In the wiki it is recommended to set the "shares total" and the "shared
happy" to the same value (15).
As I understand, the network is on 11 servers right now, so a value of
15 would not work.
Is it still adviseable to set the "shares total" and the "shares happy"
to the same value?
Which value is recommended (it does not seem adviseable to set this to
the total number of nodes since with only one node down, I could not
commit any data anymore)?
What level of redundancy is recommended (shares needed)?


Server Settings:
What settins should be choosen for "pruning"?
Would my storage be filled up infinitely with pruning disabled?
Will my client automatically start to reupload the data if the
redundancy is not good enough (below "shares happy") or do I have to
manually start that process?


Usage:
Is it ok if I start to backup my ~200G photo collection to VG2?
If I use the backup command, will changed data just be overwritten or
can there be several versions of a file restored?


I think that's it for now...

Thanx again for the warm welcome!

best regards

Marco
