# Monolith Data

Once deployed, Monolith will store data in a folder called "data".  This folder contains log files, files uploaded to Monolith, files uploaded to Relay, and database files generated by MySQL.

This data folder is important to maintain and create backups as the data that you store in Monolith will reside in this location.
