Why each option
To recover from data loss in Vault's Integrated Storage (Raft), one should utilize snapshots to restore a consistent state of the data.
Failover to a standby node is a high availability mechanism, not a data recovery method for actual data loss or corruption, as the standby node would likely replicate the lost data.
Snapshots capture the state of the Vault data at a specific point in time, allowing an administrator to restore the Vault cluster to that previous state in the event of data corruption or loss in Integrated Storage.
Audit logs record requests and responses to Vault, providing an audit trail but not a mechanism to restore lost data.
Server logs provide operational insights and debugging information about the Vault instance but do not contain the data needed for recovery from data loss.
