Actually, it's in a directory called /PC_Server/private on your local
disk.  I'm surprised you can even get to it if something is mounted on
/PC_Server.  You should put it on a unique mountpoint such as
/PC_server_private or somesuch.

But if you want to dump it, do this..

rdump.... host:/dev/sd1g
