button indicates the state of the vault:
• Black: The vault is up to date.
• Yellow: All masters in the library have been backed up, but a change has occurred
to at least one version (such as an adjustment) that has not been backed up. The
vault should be updated to safeguard your work.
• Red: At least one master in the library has not been backed up. The vault should be
updated to protect against the loss of master image files.

same time.

the hard disk used by a vault. Color-coded bars indicate the space used by the vault,
unused space, and space used for other, non-Aperture files.
