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/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.
macOS
