The default value is 0640.
If I<backend-uri> is specified, the TPM state data will be stored to the URI.
-Currently I<backend-uri=dir://<path_to_dir>> is the only one available. In this case,
-URI should specify the path to the directory where files are stored. If I<path_to_dir>
-starts with a '/' then the path is interpreted as an absolute path, otherwise it is
-a path relative to the current directory.
+Currently I<backend-uri=dir://<path_to_dir>> and I<backend-uri=file://<path_to_dir>>
+are available. For 'dir://', the URI should specify the path to the directory where
+files are stored. If I<path_to_dir> starts with a '/' then the path is interpreted
+as an absolute path, otherwise it is a path relative to the current directory.
+For 'file://', the URI should specify a single file or block device where TPM state
+will be stored. A blockdevice must exist already and be big enough to store all
+state.
