As per the protection details, replica path for my protected machine is C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center\DPM\DPM\Volumes\Replica. However, if I go to that path then I can't see anything even after selecting show hidden files/folders.

Also if I go to disk assigned as storage in storage pool of DPM, then I see folder with DPM server name. When I try to check the contents of that folder to permission is denied.

Could you please suggest if there is a way to see the replica path and what's inside the DPM folder on the disk ?

Hi,

This is normal behavior, you will only see a replica mount point there once it is mounted, that means for example when DPM is running any jobs.

An easy way to test this is to manually perform a DPM job, for example by creating a recovery point manually, you should then see the replica mount point under the C:\Program Files\[..]\DPM\Volumes\Replica folder.

You can find some more information here:
