Where does a published RDL file sit?

Question

When publishing a reporting services report. Where does the actual .RDL file sit on the server?

I can redownload the .RDL file via browsing through the report manager? But where is this file situated on the reporting services server?

Thanks

It is not a file on the server. It stored as a BLOB in the ReportServer database.

(In the Catalog table to be precise on SSRS 2005)

Update: here's the relevant query, in case that blog post disappears in the future:

select convert(varchar(max), convert(varbinary(max), content))
from catalog
where content is not null
