Explanation

When using HashiCorp Vault's Integrated Storage (Raft), the recommended approach to protect against data loss is to regularly take snapshots. Vault provides a snapshot API (vault operator raft snapshot save) that captures a point-in-time backup of the Raft storage, which can be restored (vault operator raft snapshot restore) if data loss occurs. Local storage is not a recovery mechanism, enabling an audit device only logs access events and does not protect data, and using external storage would mean abandoning Integrated Storage altogether rather than recovering from it.
