# Filesystem Storage Backend
The Filesystem storage backend stores Vault's data on the filesystem using a
standard directory structure. It can be used for durable single server
situations, or to develop locally where durability is not critical.
- **No High Availability** the Filesystem backend does not support high
availability.
- **HashiCorp Supported** the Filesystem backend is officially supported by
HashiCorp.
```hcl
storage "file" {
path = "/mnt/vault/data"
}
```
Even though Vault's data is encrypted at rest, you should still take appropriate
measures to secure access to the filesystem.
## `file` Parameters
- `path` `(string: <required>)` The absolute path on disk to the directory
where the data will be stored. If the directory does not exist, Vault will
create it.
## `file` Examples
This example shows the Filesystem storage backend being mounted at
`/mnt/vault/data`.
```hcl
storage "file" {
path = "/mnt/vault/data"
}
```
