# Find The Data Directory
|
|
|
|
Where does postgres store all of the data for a database cluster? Well, in
|
|
its data directory. Where exactly that data directory is can depend on how
|
|
the database cluster was setup. Postgres can tell you right where to look,
|
|
though. Within `psql`, run
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
> show data_directory
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Postgres will output the absolute path of the data directory.
