Hi I just began using the vault and on my first backup, I noticed my vault is 30% larger in space than my library. I looked and saw its the previews that take that much space.
First question: Is there a way to configure the previews in the vault or no?
Second question: Is the vault system same as time machine? ::: Does it continue to grow and grow till your HD is full and after it erases the older backups or does it erases the old library backup each time you update it?
Third question: Can you configure with a script or not a way so it backs up automatically each time you close Aperture?
Thanks for the time you take for your answers!
Hi,
I’m not sure about the script question, but for the others, I think the following link could be helpful.

Hi Martlaucus
This may solve the confusion. I had a similar problem and it has to do with how aperture treats changes to preview sizes. It DOES NOT automatically change all the existing previews to the new specified size. When you change the preview size it just says “Oh OK so you want me to use that size from THIS POINT IN TIME..” To change existing preview sizes you need to select which masters you want to change and then force aperture to regenerate to the new size.. This article explains how..

I hope this helps a lot of people as I was looking for an answer for days on this too…
