Retain uses a hybrid storage system. All message headers and metadata is stored in the database but all message text and attachments are stored as files on the file system in the location listed here (and subdirectories).
This is done a little like GroupWise, where the OFFILES directory stores Binary Large Objects (a.k.a., BLOBS - anything larger than 2KB). In the case of Retain, this is transparent to the user and you may choose whether to encrypt this data. If it is stored in a location accessible ONLY to the Retain Server, then encryption is not necessary and we recommend not using it.
