Why on my Alfresco Community 4.2.d Stable I don't have the 'contentstore.audit' folder?

Hi.
Into my Alfresco repository I don't have the "contentstore.audit" folder, but I have this folder mentioned on my "alfresco-global.properties" file:

dir.root=/mnt/storage
dir.contentstore=${dir.root}/contentstore
dir.contentstore.deleted=${dir.root}/contentstore.deleted
dir.auditcontentstore=${dir.root}/contentstore.audit

Why I don't have this folder? What's the purpose of this folder?
Thanks in advance.
Bye.

I can't see that this is used anywhere either.    The svn "blame" shows that this is a very old revision.

Into the backup documentation is mentioned this folder: I need to backup this folder or not?

You might find more details in the answer posted to this similar question on the Alfresco community forum:

audit.contentstore Folder 

This is the answer that we received from Alfresco support when we asked the same question(s):

"This is a very old setting that for some reason still persists in our repository.properties files even up to our newest versions. However, the responsible context file that handles it is /root/projects/repository/config/alfresco/audit-services-context.xml. I believe the last time this context file had any pointers to it was in our 3.3.5 version.

To complete the answer for you though, the auditcontentstore and auditcontentstore.deleted folders were created when auditing was enabled. The auditing content was placed therein. The functionality was actually removed before 3.4.x. If you use audit now, it won't make use of this folder."
