7.1.1 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. 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. 
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. 
102). 
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. 159).
Operations with backups (p. 159).
Sorting, filtering and configuring table items (p. 17).
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 because 
other backups depend on it and consolidation is either not possible or disabled by retention rules. 
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 at next cleanup after you enable consolidation in the retention rules. 
7.1.2 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 or removable media, 
Acronis Cloud Storage, or on a hard drive local to the machine. Acronis Secure Zone is considered as a
