Your final configuration makes sense to me... I can't say I fully understand why, but I need `-a` otherwise the local repo will get all versions, leaving me with a bunch of unused keys. So my command is `git annex sync -a -A wasabi-east wasabi-west`. I took the other machine out of the sync because sometimes it's offline and I don't want to wait around for an SSH timeout. + +I have tested that if I force drop a key from `wasabi-east`, that sync command will get the key from `wasabi-west`, and then copy it to `wasabi-east`. It doesn't automatically drop it locally, I have to do `git annex drop --unused` - but that's not a big deal. + +I would just like to be confident that the wasabi remotes are a lockbox for any keys added to my annex. So... I think it works? :) I'll keep using it and report back if I run into any weirdness. +"""]]
