Documenting your directory structure provides insight about how your applications and server drives are built and where key components reside.

Directory structure documentation can give you insight about how an application or server drive is built and where key components reside, as well as provide a convenient way for you to designate folders' importance. In a sense, an application or server's directory tree is like a report outline that you can use as a valuable resource if you need to analyze a network problem, develop maintenance scripts, or support an application. . . .
