--- Comment #1 from Yuri Chornoivan <yurchor at ukr.net> ---
There is the official documentation on where Plasma and applications store
data.

https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/KDE_Filesystem_Hierarchy

https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/XDG_Filesystem_Hierarchy

It should be updated accordingly but in general, the specification requires all
the settings to be stored in ~/.config.

It should be enough to back up this folder. But... Zoom, Viber, Matlab, Scilab,
LyX, and many other applications do not follow the specification. What is the
reason to back up only Plasma configuration?
