Where is the configuration directory for the 2020.x version?
已回答
I install and use IntelliJ IDEA and Goland from Toolbox in Windows 10 pro.
The previous 2019.x version had a configuration directory in place like "C:\Users\USERNAME.IntelliJIdea2019.3", but it was not created in the 2020.x version.
I'm using all the latest versions of 2020.x, but only .GoLand2019.3 and .IntelliJIdea2019.3 were available.
I want to do a backup of the configuration locally as well, separate from the setting repository.
Where is the 2020.x configuration directory?

It is now in JetBrains folder. See https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241085
Thank you for your reply.
I found the "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.2" directory.
Can I restore IDEA by backing up this directory?
In previous 2019 .x versions, there were "... \.IntelliJIdea2019.3\config" and "...\.IntelliJIdea2019.3\system" subdirectories. Has this been integrated in 2020 .x?
It is easier to make configuration backup from inside the IntelliJ IDEA (File | Manage IDE Settings | Export Settings).
Moreover, since 2020.2, you can reset installation to defaults (File | Manage IDE Settings | Restore Default Settings) and your current config will be automatically backed up before that action.

It is now "C:\Users\JohnS\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.2". See https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/tuning-the-ide.html#config-directory
I'm using the settings repository, so "Export Settings..." was disabled. was disabled because I also use the setting repository.
I want to have my settings directory backed up automatically on a regular basis by a script. (For my peace of mind.)
I'll be backing up the following two directories
- "%LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\Brains<product><version>"
- "%APPDATA%\JetBrains<product><version>"
Thanks for the support.
