how to create backups of the SQL Workbench/J data

All of this data is under something like C:\Users\newcum\.sqlworkbench\

The easiest way to take backups is to just zip up that entire folder.

But if you insist on looking at individual files:

connection data

This is stored in the file wb-profiles.properties

SQL queries within the tabs

This is stored in the file Default.wksp. This is a .zip format file that contains a separate file for each tab.
