Disconnecting a Vault’s Hard Disk Drive from Your System
Temporarily
You may routinely disconnect a backup hard disk drive from your Aperture system and
take it to a safe offsite location. When you disconnect a backup hard disk from your
computer, Aperture takes the associated vault offline. When you reconnect the hard disk,
Aperture automatically detects the hard disk and connects it to the corresponding vault.
To disconnect a vault’s hard disk drive from your Aperture system
1 In the Finder, drag the icon for the hard disk drive to the Trash, or select the disk in the
sidebar of a Finder window and click the Eject button.
2 Disconnect the hard disk drive from your computer.
Reconnecting a Vault’s Hard Disk Drive to Your System
If you keep a backup of the Aperture library on an offsite hard disk drive, you’ll occasionally
need to bring it in for updating. Aperture keeps track of the hard disks that have been
disconnected from their vaults. When you reconnect a hard disk drive, Aperture
automatically detects the hard disk, determines which vault it’s assigned to, and reconnects
the vault.
At times, you may rename a backup hard disk drive or add a new one and copy a vault
to the new disk. In this case, you need to specify the location, or path, of the new or
changed backup hard disk drive.
To specify a vault’s new location or path
1 Connect the hard disk drive to your computer.
2 To show the Vault pane, do one of the following:
• Choose Window > Show Vaults (or press Shift-R).
• Click the Vault Pane button.
3 Select the vault to be updated to a new path.
4 Choose Update Vault Path from the Vault Action pop-up menu (with a gear icon).
5 Navigate to the location of the vault on the hard disk drive, select it, then click Update
Path.
