When I'm switching phones, I've found setting up the application grid to my liking is one of the most arduous processes. I'd like to backup it from old phone and put to new phone.
/home/nemo/.config/lipstick/applications.menu
This should work, provided that ALL launcher icons are present when you apply your saved 'applications.menu' file

It dumps them at the bottom of the launcher. I haven't really experimented to any depth, I just knew where the file was

I think I have advocated it enough but still, rsync is your best friend for all backup purposes.
When I change devices and want everything to be like it was in the old one, I just pull the most recent dump from my server to the new device and it is identical to the old one

Regards,
The folders are there and applications in right places. The different folder icons are not preserved with this, so you have to re-edit those.
But this is as-is anyway a big time saver for me. If anyone knows where the folder icon selections are stored, that'd be nice to know when I next time change phone
