When a new connection being established, Navicat will create a subfolder (with name in line with respective database) under the Settings Location. All backup, queries, import or export profiles etc are stored within this subfolder. To look for the path, right-click the connection and choose Edit Connection > Advanced > Settings Location.
In addition, all the saved profiles (e.g batch job profile) are stored in Profiles Location. To look for the path, select Tools > Options, under File Locations.
