Where does moodle 2.x save courses backups?

I have to create a course in a moodle project that exist in another moodle project.

I have created a backup of the course I need, but I can't find where the file was created and in the moodle it shows me the backup.

I have read that in the mdl_data table or mdl_backup_controllers have info about where the file its but my mdl_data has no records and mdl_backup_controllers has the course id but I don't know how that help; it only shows a hashed field named backupid that doesn't exist in the other tables.

When a back up file is created , it creates an entry in mdl_files table.

there is one column "contetnhash".

that column contain the file information and location.

let say content hash da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709so location would be 

<dataroot>/filedire/da/39/da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709so

first four character divided in two two parts would be directory.
