Syncthing stores all configuration in a single folder. The location of the folder is OS-specific and documented [here](https://docs.syncthing.net/users/config.html).

Be aware that this folder also contains syncthing’s internal database. Restoring the database from a backup can potentially be [dangerous](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/epic-mixup-of-files-after-disk-restoration/13492/2). It’s fine to backup the database, but the database is capable of rebuilding itself and so it’s possibly safer to _not_ restore it.

(Also note that SyncTrayzor has another custom directory where SyncTrayzor specific settings are stored. The SyncTrayzor config-folder can be found @ `%AppData%\SyncTrayzor`)
