Studio paths and locations for workspaces

So I'm getting a new computer and backing everything up in preparation. (Moving from Windows 7 to Windows 10 as well.) I had Studio save my custom workspace, only to discover that Studio shields you from seeing what it does with it, both on export and import.
So where does it put the file (I assume there's a file?) when it saves your custom workspace? Is it hiding somewhere in the content directory? How will Studio be able to find it?
I'll be moving my content disk, so the pathways to content will remain the same, if that helps.
I'm also having it export user data, which the export window is telling me goes into the /runtime/support directory, so that should be easy enough.

In Windows 10, which I have, it is in your user accont AppData/Roaming/DAZ 3D/Studio4 or Studio4 Public Build for the Beta. (This is the same folder where the Daz Studio log file is stored.) You will find a bunch of stuff in that folder that you might want to back up.
Ah, OK. I backed up that whole directory, so I should be good to go. (Very hard lessons learned when I upgraded to my current computer.)
Thank you!
What about the database? Did you back that up? I don't know if you can just copy that to another computer or not.
You can, and I did back it up. I moved the database the last time I switched over. This time, I backed up the entire /Roaming/Daz3D directory including the /cms directories. I just wasn't clear on where Studio was putting the custom workspace; unlike the UserData, it doesn't tell you where that's going as part of the process.
