intellij idea run configurations backup

The location would depend on 2 factors, whether the configuration is local to the user or shared with the other developers and if you are using the file based (legacy) or the directory based project format.

  • File based project, local configuration: .iws file
  • Directory based project, local configuration: workspace.xml file under .idea directory
  • File based project, shared configuration: .ipr file
  • Directory based project, shared configuration: .xml file under runConfigurations subdirectory of .idea directory or files inside .run directory in the project root (you can customize the location of the shared configurations in the latest versions).
