### Storage Map

This reference provides a quick overview of the most important directories used by a TailStatic installation. All paths are relative to the [Persistent Storage Layout](/docs/persistent-storage-layout), usually `/app/data/tailstatic`.

| Path | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| `/DB` | Main application database files. See [Application Settings](/docs/application-settings). |
| `/Security` | Encryption keys, certificates, and sensitive data. See [Users and Access Control](/docs/users-and-access-control). |
| `/Sites` | Source files for all managed sites. See [Create and Manage Sites](/docs/create-and-manage-sites). |
| `/SitesRendered` | Final optimized HTML/CSS files served once you [publish](/docs/publish-workflows). |
| `/SitesPreview` | Temporary files used for [Preview Workflows](/docs/preview-workflows). |
| `/jobs` | Logs and data for [TailStatic-Tools and Processing Jobs](/docs/tailstatic-tools-and-processing-jobs). |
| `/tmp` | General temporary storage used during [Files, Assets, and Collections](/docs/files-assets-and-collections) uploads. |

### Per-Site Source Structure

Each site within the `/Sites` directory follows this standard [Site Directory Layout](/docs/site-directory-layout):

| Path | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| `/pages` | Structural templates. See [Components and Liquid Templates](/docs/components-and-liquid-templates). |
| `/Content` | Content files. See [Pages and Markdown Content](/docs/pages-and-markdown-content). |
| `/Components` | Reusable snippets. See [Components and Liquid Templates](/docs/components-and-liquid-templates). |
| `/Assets` | Static files. See [Files, Assets, and Collections](/docs/files-assets-and-collections). |
| `/Config` | Site-level config. See [Site Config Reference](/docs/site-config-reference). |

### Next Steps

Always ensure you have [Backups and Restore](/docs/backups-and-restore) in place before manually modifying these directories. For troubleshooting, consult [Troubleshooting TailStatic](/docs/troubleshooting-tailstatic) and check [Analytics and Logs](/docs/analytics-and-logs). All changes are tracked in [Versioning and History](/docs/versioning-and-history).
