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 (not available if the vault is located on a tape library). 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.

For managed vaults only, you can examine the name of the storage node that manages the vault, encryption and deduplication states.

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.

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:
