What does the icon mean?
When browsing archives on the Archive view tab, you may encounter a backup with the icon.
This icon means that the backup is marked for deletion but cannot be deleted immediately for any of
the following reasons:

Other backups depend on it, but consolidation is either not possible or disabled by retention
rules.

The backup is stored on a tape.
You cannot perform any operation on backups marked for deletion. They disappear from the Archive
view after they are physically deleted. This happens when all of the dependent backups are also
deleted, or when the tape is overwritten, or at next cleanup after you enable consolidation in the
retention rules.
7.1.2 Centralized vaults
A centralized vault is a networked location allotted by the management server administrator to serve
as storage for the backup archives. A centralized vault can be managed by a storage node or be
unmanaged. The total number and size of archives stored in a centralized vault is limited by the
storage size only.
As soon as the management server administrator creates a centralized vault, the vault path and
name are distributed to all machines registered on the server. The shortcut to the vault appears on
the machines in the Vaults group. Any backup plan existing on the machines, including local plans,
can use the centralized vault.
The following table explains in details the difference between managed and unmanaged vaults.
