Where is precached data stored on a client?

Is there some relevance for tracking down the pathname (or drive letter) that the precached data is being stored to? (as it relates to _BESClient_Download_PreCacheStageDiskLimitMB)

A lot of our servers have a limited amount of disk space on one of the drives, and I want to make sure I’m not filling up that drive, so knowing which drive it is being written to would be very useful.

Thanks,

The BES Client caches its files in sub folders of __BESData; so, probably you want to monitor that folder.

Jason & Daniele,

I think I had a senior moment… Somehow didn’t realize that the precache was being stored under __BESData…

Thanks,
