project level. If you have differing replication schedules for different types of virtual machines (or even
subsets of virtual disk types, OS/boot versus production data) you should configure multiple projects,
each to replicate on their own schedule.
For VMware ESX, it is recommended that you turn off Update access time on read for NFS
filesystems. For the rest of the options, the defaults are sufficient for most general deployments. If you
are going to create multiple shares under the same project you can change the properties at the project
level and those properties will be inherited by all shares in the project. Individual properties can be
overridden at the share level as needed.
