Explanation:

Integrated Storage is a Raft-based storage backend that allows Vault to store its data internally without relying on an external storage system. It also enables Vault to run in high availability mode with automatic leader election and failover. However, Integrated Storage is not immune to data loss or corruption due to hardware failures, network partitions, or human errors. Therefore, it is recommended to use the snapshot feature to backup and restore the Vault data periodically or on demand. A snapshot is a point-in-time capture of the entire Vault data, including the encrypted secrets, the configuration, and the metadata. Snapshots can be taken and restored using the vault operator raft snapshot command or the sys/storage/raft/snapshot API endpoint. Snapshots are encrypted and can only be restored with a quorum of unseal keys or recovery keys.Snapshots are also portable and can be used to migrate data between different Vault clusters or storage backends.Reference: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/concepts/integrated-storage1, https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/commands/operator/raft/snapshot2, https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/api-docs/system/storage/raft/snapshot3
