# XFS

**Prerequisites:**

**Note:**

* The only prerequisite to using synthetic XFS as a backup destination is that the selected storage path is on the XFS
* For a basic setup of file systems on the Node check [File system](https://docs.storware.eu/70/deployment/backup-destinations/filesystem/regular-filesystem)
