Vault Express
Appraisers with a Silver, Gold or Platinum Membership and no other Vault
account are entitled to a complimentary Vault Express account. Here are
some of the basic differences between each version of Vault.
- Full Vault accounts are intended as a means of backing up years of
appraisal files. Ideally, you'd have your entire five year requirement backed
up securely in the Vault. Vault Express, however, is intended to help you keep
backups of all of your active work. To account for that Vault Express
automatically backs up your 20 most recent files. So if you make a change to a
file while you're actively using Vault Express, you can rest assured that it
will automatically find its way into the Vault.
- Full Vault accounts have powerful filtering and searching features to help
you find exactly the file you need in your backup of several hundred or
several thousand files. Since Vault Express only holds 20 files, you won't
need filtering and searching features so they won't show up when you log into
Vault online.
- Unlike standard Vault memberships, Vault Express isn’t accessible from
within WinTOTAL’s file cabinet. Intead, to upload files, you run the
Vault client from its program group or use the upload feature in the Vault
online.
- Unlike Vault, Vault Express does not include Exact, our product specially
designed to back up WinTOTAL’s preferences and settings for easy recovery or
migration to a new PC.
- Vault Express also has fewer steps in the setup wizards as it only applies
to WinTOTAL users.
Except for what’s mentioned above, Vault Express functions like any other
Vault account. To account for both, this user's guide describes the setup and
usage steps for full Vault accounts. Where appropriate, the manual does include
notes about differences in Vault Express as well. For more information about
full Vault accounts or to upgrade, see our Vault web page at www.alamode.com/vault.
