I am trying to locate where on our report server our .RDL get deployed to. I did not do the original install so I am not sure where to go.

Are the reports and data sources store as files and folders like "normal" windows files or are they stored within a SQL database?

An update on what I have found out if others have the same question.

- There is no RDL on the Report Server or within the SQL database where the information is stored. The definition components are stored in various tables though.

- To get a list of reports within your environment:
SELECT Catalog.Path
FROM ReportServer.dbo.Catalog Catalog
WHERE (Catalog.Type=2)
ORDER BY Catalog.Path

To retrieve the RDL if missing or you don't have access to your code repository:
Open Report Manager. Navigate to report you want RDL for. Click Properties to edit. Click Edit under Report Definition and Report Manager prompts you to save or open.
