A single Delta server is set as the Source server (or as a proxy to a network based source drive), with its movies, images, codec movies and audio shown in columns below:
•Media Type icon: 
Movie, Codec, Image or Audio.
•Filename (hover over here to see the full path to this file)
•Media Size (hover over here to see the actual number of bytes)
To the right are a series of columns, one for each server, with the server name shown vertically. The list of servers is sorted by name, with non-active servers shown in grey:
For each file / server location, there is an tick box / indication box to select.
Server Name
The server initially shows as the IP address only, then when the config data arrives, will change to the server’s machine name. You can hover over the server name to see the IP Address.
While loading, there are 2 grey bars, the lower grey bar indicates waiting on the config data, the upper grey bar indicates waiting on the file list. As the specific data arrives, the lines will disappear.
Note that the Waiting on Files indicator bar will be shown again if you use Media > Enumerate until the fresh file list arrives, then it will disappear as before.
Toggle Rows / Columns
For each file row, there is a horizontal arrow button. This selects the whole row of tick boxes (active servers only) for this file. Also, Ctrl-Click the button to view the Copy / Delete / Clear dialog which will apply to the whole row.
When the cursor is over a row, the row is indicated with an orange row marker on the left (switchable from main menu: Config > Server/Media Highlighting).
For each server column, there is a vertical arrow button. This selects the whole column of tick boxes (active servers only) for this server. Also, Ctrl-Click the button to view the Copy / Delete / Clear dialog which will apply to the whole column.

Unticking a ticked button will default to removing the Delete or Copy Pending state.
Select + Ctrl
Holding down Ctrl when clicking a grid tick button or row/column button offers a small dialog where you can choose to Copy, Delete or Clear, regardless of the state of the Files Present indicator.
This means you can choose to re-copy over existing media or finish the copy of partial movies, or Delete media which you know to be there, but which BackPack is not yet aware of. Note that to copy over existing files, on the Sync confirmation dialog, you need to choose Overwrite Target Files.
