The amount of history a server attempts to download depends on its configuration. The server automatically tries to fill gaps by downloading history up to **the oldest ledger it already has available**. You can use the `[ledger_history]` setting to make the server backfill history beyond that point. However, the server never downloads ledgers that would be scheduled for [deletion](online-deletion.html).
The `[ledger_history]` setting defines a minimum number of ledgers to accumulate from before the current validated ledger. Use the special value `full` to download the [full history](#full-history) of the network. If you specify a number of ledgers, it must be equal to or more than the `online_deletion` setting; you cannot use `[ledger_history]` to make the server download _less_ history. To reduce the amount of history a server stores, change the [online deletion](online-deletion.html) settings instead.

The amount of data the server stores depends on how often you call [can_delete][can_delete method] and how big an interval of time your `online_delete` setting represents:
- If you call `can_delete` _more often_ than your `online_delete` interval, the server stores at most a number of ledger versions approximately equal to **twice the `online_delete` value**. (After deletion, this is reduced to approximately the `online_delete` value.)

For example, if you call `can_delete` with a value of `now` once per day and an `online_delete` value of 50,000, the server typically stores up to 100,000 ledger versions before running deletion. After running deletion, the server keeps at least 50,000 ledger versions (about two days' worth). With this configuration, approximately every other `can_delete` call results in no change because the server does not have enough ledger versions to delete.

#### Full History Servers
Unlike some other blockchains, the XRP Ledger does not require servers to have a complete transaction history to know the current state and process new transactions. As a server operator, you decide how much [ledger history](ledger-history.html) to store at a time. However, a P2P Mode server can only answer API requests using the ledger history it has locally available. For example, if you keep six months of history, your server can't describe the outcome of a transaction from a year ago. API servers with [full history](ledger-history.html#full-history) can report all transactions and balances since the inception of the XRP Ledger.

### Validators
The robustness of the XRP Ledger depends on an interconnected web of _validators_ who each trust some other validators _not to collude_. In addition to processing each transaction and calculating ledger state just like other P2P Mode servers, validators participate actively in the [consensus protocol](consensus.html). If you or your organization relies on the XRP Ledger, it is in your interest to contribute to the consensus process by running _one_ server as a validator.

Validation uses only a small amount of computing resources, but there is not much benefit to a single entity or organization running multiple validators because doing so does not provide more protections against collusion. Each validator identifies itself with a unique cryptographic key pair that must be carefully managed; multiple validators must not share a key pair. For these reasons, validation is disabled by default.
