Do these settings need to be changed?

save_knowledge_base = no

Set this to yes, otherwise you will not be able to resume a scan if it
gets stopped in the middle.

only_test_hosts_whose_kb_we_dont_have = no
only_test_hosts_whose_kb_we_have = no

You can leave these.


Also, what is a good number to put here?

kb_max_age = 864000

Depends on you, but if you want to replay a scan that was stopped in the
middle make sure that the plugin results saved in the kb are less then
the number set here.
