    The copies of a DAG database cannot be on separate paths. That is why there is no way to specify it when adding a copy of a database (you must specify paths when creating databases, however). Once established, you cannot change the paths of an individual copy. If you do change it for the database, the path must exist on all servers that will hold a copy.

    Thus, to answer your question, the first query you ran in your example shows the path for logs and databases of the active and all passive copies.
