6.1.1 Working with vaults
This section briefly describes the main GUI elements of the selected vault, and suggests ways to work
with them.
Examining information on a vault
Information about the selected vault is located at the top pane of the selected vault. Using the
stacked bar, you can estimate the vault's load. The vault's load is the proportion of the vault's free
space and occupied space (not available if the vault is located on a tape library). Free space is a 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 the free space of the respective volume. Occupied space is the total size of
backup archives and their metadata, if it is located in the vault.
You can obtain the total number of archives and backups stored in the vault and full path to the
vault.
For managed vaults only, you can examine the name of the storage node that manages the vault,
encryption and deduplication states.
Browsing the vault contents and data selection
You can browse the vault content and select data to recover by using the Data view tab, or the
Archive view tab.
Data view
The Data view tab lets you browse and select the backed up data by versions (backup date and time).
The Data view tab shares the same searching and cataloging functionality with the data catalog (p.
101).
Archive view
The Archive view tab displays the backed up data by archives. Use the Archive view to perform
operations with archives and backups stored in the vault. For more information about these
operations, see the following sections:
 Operations with archives stored in a vault (p. 155).
 Operations with backups (p. 156).
 Sorting, filtering and configuring table items (p. 16).
6.1.2 Personal vaults
A vault is called personal if it was created using direct connection of the console to a managed
machine. Personal vaults are specific for each managed machine. Personal vaults are visible to any
user that can log on to the system. A user's right to back up to a personal vault is defined by the
user's permission for the folder or device where the vault is located.
A personal vault can be organized on a network share, FTP server, detachable media or removable,
Acronis Online Backup Storage, tape device, or on a hard drive local to the machine. Acronis Secure
Zone is considered as a personal vault available to all users that can log on the system. Personal
vaults are created automatically when backing up any of the above locations.
Personal vaults can be used by local backup plans or local tasks. Centralized backup plans cannot use
personal vaults except for Acronis Secure Zone.
