I am using redis for pub/sub as well as for server side cache. I mean my app server has redis server running as one process (functioning as a cache as well) . I have several thin clients (running redis client) connected to this app server in pub/sub mode. I would like to know where redis stores the cache data ? in server alone or there will be a copy in the clients as well. Also is it a good idea to use Redis in this fashion if there are close to 100 redis clients connected to server through pub/sub channel.

Thanks

Redis is a (sort of) in-memory noSQL database; but I found that my copy (running on linux) dumps to /var/lib/redis/dump.rdb
