Go to the File menu and choose Open Application Data Folder. You can take a copy of the ToolDatabase folder. If you have any customised post processors you should back up the My_PostP folder as well.

However the simplest and most future proof way to back up the database is to use the cloud features (look on the top row of the database form) which will keep a copy of your database on Vectrics servers.

To keep an easy to load version on your own drives you can use the export functions (bottom left of the database form).

The reason you are having trouble finding it on the C drive is that it is in a hidden folder on the C drive called ProgramData

This folder is hidden on windows machines by default & you need to enable show hidden folders in the view menu at the top of the screen when you have the C drive directory on the screen

As Adrian has said there are other ways to copy the tool database & using the cloud function is also well worth using
