Creating Vaults Before you can back up your files, you must create a vault and assign a hard disk to it. After you assign a disk to the vault, Aperture uses the vault to back up the entire library. You can create additional vaults and assign hard disks to them, and each additional vault also records a complete backup of the library. To create a new vault: 1 Do one of the following: Â Choose File > Vault > Add Vault. Â Choose Add Vault from the Vault Action pop-up menu. Vault Pane button Vault Action pop-up menu 2 In the Add Vault dialog, specify the following options: Â Type the name you want for the vault in the Vault Name field. Â Choose where you want the vault stored from the Where pop-up menu. 3 Click Add. Important: To ensure preservation of your image assets, make sure to assign a separate external hard disk drive to each vault. To see the hard disk assigned to a vault: m In the Vault pane, click the disclosure triangle beside the vault name. Click the disclosure triangle to see which hard disk is assigned to the vault. You can easily see the amount of free space your vault has available next to the vault name. Make sure to assign enough disk space to the vault to ensure a complete backup of the library and to allow the library to grow as you import new images over time. 616 Part IV Distribution and Backup
