I would like to know about where to find the primary and backup locations of BigQuery datasets when the data is stored as multi-region? Could someone please provide me a solution for my question because I'm new to GCP BigQuery?

Any information would be appreciated

There is no any option to find where the primary and backup dataset is located if you choose multi-region. We only know that the data is stored in a single region but don't know which region[1].

If you need to store the data in a specific region, you shall use a single region[2]. In single regions, data are not backed up to other regions. To address that, you can create cross-region dataset copies[3] to enhance the disaster recovery guarantees.
