Where do time machine backups live?

So i just set up a private time machine allocation for my macbook pro, and successfully set up time machine on the MBP to backup to the RN212, which it successfully performed.

 

my question however is where does this data actually end up on the rn212? When browsing the drives (JBOD) via finder or windows explorer, I don't actually see any folders that contain the time machine back up. How do i know which drive it's actually on?

 

any help would be great. Thanks!

    It's stored on the main data volume.

    It's in a hidden .timemachine share.
