Hi, orphaned means that you’ve got backup files that exist for a backup job you’ve since deleted. Imported means you’ve got backup files within a repository you added to your infrastructure and they aren’t mapped to a backup job

Just to add the Michael explanation, have in mind that both (orphaned and imported) are backup chains that are not increment any more.
