Chapter 9 Backing Up Your Images 125
If you keep a backup of your system 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. A message appears asking if you want to update the hard disk
with the latest library information.
Try This: Exploring the Vault Pane
You use the Vault pane below the Inspector pane to set the location of your vaults
and check on their status. Next, you’ll open the Vault pane and create a new vault
for the library.
