# Default Storage

The default Storage path for Virtual Images, Backups, Deployment Archives, Archive Service, and Archived Snapshots is `var/opt/morpheus/morpheus-ui/`. It is recommended to add Storage Buckets and File Shares for these targets in the Infrastructure > Storage section to avoid running out of disk space on the VM Essentials Appliance.
