It's a record in the Docs table of the Content DB that the site is in.

Hmm ok, I understand SQL.
I'll just rest in the knowledge that SQL holds the copy and it is from
there SP collects them.
Ok thank you.

The reason I asked was that very soon we're going to become very
dependent on SP for document control. We had some troubles in the
recent past with backing up data, so wanted to know where to look to
ensure the SP data was backed up correctly.

As long as your content databases are being backed up you have all of your
content. The only things in the file system are site definitions, images,
stuff like that. The meat of the sites are in the Content DBs.

Hiya,

Ok, that clairifies things, thank you.
So my next question would then be, how would I ensure and check that
the Content DBs are backed up? What is the default folder to find the
content db?

They don't back themselves up, you have to put something in place to do
that. How you ensure they are getting backed up depends on your process.
You can find the location of the Content DBs in the file system by opening
up the Database's properties in SQL.
