As far as possible, we operate the sandbox and production systems
identically.  The only fundamental differences between the two are:

1) The production site has a much lower default limit on the amount of  
data a single user can write per day.  This can be adjusted on a per- 
user basis, though; please let us know if you need that.

2) Sandbox data is discarded every Monday and replaced with a fresh  
copy of the production database (including account and authentication  
data).

3) Sandbox receives new software images a couple of days in advance of  
the production site.
