In current versions of FreePBX, backups are stored in __ASTSPOOLDIR__/backup/, listed as the "Local Storage" location. In most systems __ASTSPOOLDIR__ is located at /var/spool/asterisk/.

Prior to FreePBX 2.10 backups were stored in __ASTVARLIBDIR__/backups/. This location is referred to as the "Legacy Backup" location in current versions. Backup definitions created in an older version of FreePBX will use this location after an upgrade to version 2.10+.
