storage vault
Locked holding space
A storage vault is a secure room or facility designed to protect valuables, documents, or sensitive materials.
Banks have vaults for cash and safe deposit boxes; companies maintain vaults for records or data backups.
The term emphasizes both containment and security: The original recordings are kept in a climate-controlled storage vault.
