Here is what I found by unzipping the file: While it does not show up in the help file system, it appears to back up the following features:

Custom PDF joboption presets

Something named AI22Settings which covers ... what?

Under en_US: Adobe Illustrator Cloud Prefs, AI Color Settings, custom keyboard shortcuts, Modified Workspaces, New Document Profiles, Workspaces (again)

Under Settings: color management custom settings files; and custom Hyphenation Exceptions and User Dictionaries

I doubt it is cross-platform entirely. Has anyone ever tried to import it across platforms?
