Metadata
The .meta folder is created during backup in every personal vault. This folder contains additional
information about archives and backups stored in the vault, such as archive owners or the machine
name. If you accidentally delete the .meta folder, it will be automatically recreated next time you
access the vault. But some information like owner names and machine names may be lost.
4.2.1 Working with the "Personal vault" view
This section briefly describes the main elements of the Personal vault view, and suggests the ways to
work with them.
Vault toolbar
The toolbar contains operational buttons that let you perform operations with the selected personal
vault. See the Actions on personal vaults (p. 154) section for details.
Pie chart with legend
The pie chart lets you estimate the vault's load: it shows the proportion of the vault's free space and
occupied space.
- free space: space on the storage device, where the vault is located. For example, if the vault is
located on a hard disk, the vault free space is free space of the appropriate volume.
- occupied space: total size of backup archives and their metadata, if it is located in the vault. Other
files that may be put to this folder by a user, are not counted.
The legend displays the following information about the vault:
 full path to the vault
 total number of archives and backups stored in the vault
 the ratio of the occupied space to the original data size.
Vault content
The Vault content section contains the archives table and toolbar. The archives table displays
archives and backups that are stored in the vault. Use the archives toolbar to perform actions on the
selected archives and backups. The list of backups is expanded by clicking the "plus" sign to the left of
the archive's name. All the archives are grouped by type on the following tabs:
 The Disk archives tab lists all the archives that contain disk or volume backups (images).
 The File archives tab lists all the archives that contain file backups.
