The annotations for all types of books are stored in the database. But for epubs and PDFs on the main memory, the annotations are also in the files. It doesn't matter whether they have DRM or not. If the file exists, when the book is opened, the file is read and loaded into the database to replace whatever is there for the book.

If you want to look at the database, the table is "Bookmark". For sideloaded books, the VolumeID is basically the file path for the book. Dumping all the entries with hidden=false would give you the backup. There have been a couple of scripts posted to extract the annotations to show the notes.
