Disk caching for frequent database log backups question

According to the documentation for the disk caching for log backups feature, the CommServe computer does not need to run frequent backup jobs throughout the day. Instead, log files are backed up at the desired frequency using native backup utilities, cached to a mount point on the MediaAgent, and made available for database restores. The Scheduler then runs at the interval defined by the "Use disk cache for log backups and commit every" setting to commit the cached data.

I understand that the cache resides on the backup storage associated with the primary copy of the backup plan and that Commvault handles this automatically when caching is enabled.

However, the documentation does not specify the directory path where these logs are saved. Could you please clarify where exactly the logs are stored on the MediaAgent during the dump phase?
