# POST Data Preservation File Directory

When [Enable POST Data Preservation](org.forgerock.agents.post.data.preservation.enabled.html) and [POST Data Preservation in Files or Cache](org.forgerock.agents.pdp.use.filesystem.enabled.html) are `true`, this property defines the directory in which POST data preservation data files are saved.

The agent must be able to access the directory. If the directory does not exist, or the agent cannot access it, [Enable POST Data Preservation](org.forgerock.agents.post.data.preservation.enabled.html) is set to `false`.

Default: `/path/to/java_agents/agent_type/Agent_n/tmp/pdp`.
