it's in the SQL error logs, also stored in the backup history tables in MSDB, maint plan or job history tables if the backups are run as jobs.

No idea. Depends on where you installed SQL Server. The SQL error logs are called ERRORLOG, ERRORLOG.1, etc. Open one in management studio (management -> SQL Server logs) and the location will be mentioned at the beginning of the log.

As for MSDB, it's a database, again where it is depends on where you installed SQL and where you specified the DB files to go.
