Operation Manual

As you add images to the library, Aperture automatically tracks which managed images
have been backed up to your vault. When your vault is up to date, the Vault Status button
appears black. When a change to at least one version occurs, such as an adjustment, the
Vault Status button appears yellow. When Aperture determines that even a single master
has not been backed up, the Vault Status button appears red. You can have Aperture
update your vaults whenever you want.
For more information, see Backing Up Your Images.
