URGENT HELP NEEDED!!! TL;DR - Where's the waypoint 2.0 data kept? Need to backup & move!

I've inquired about this before, no responses. I've got a Waypoint 2.0 flight saved in my library, gear is Smart Controller and Mavic 2 Pro. The waypoint flight is a multi-year survey of a construction project. I need to find the data file and back it up somewhere so that it can be archived / moved to a new controller / moved to a new drone. It doesn't seem to be kept in the cloud as it doesn't show up in my library when I use the original stock controller. I've seen suggestions that there's a Waypoints folder on the SC, but all it contains is a how-to video. Where's the file?? Thanks.

This is a reason why people use Litchi, as it allows you to create a waypoint flight, save it on the Litchi site, and then load it into the aircraft when you need it, even some months later.

Duplicate useless comment. And it may be helpful for he/she to know that there is a application designed just for the purpose that was mentioned.

On IOS,  the file you want is called waypoint.db it can actually be edited/viewed with an sql lite editor like https://sqlitebrowser.org - Im sure the smart controller version will be similar.

I too would very much like to know where the file is stored and how to get to it.  My smart controller started acting strange (I couldn't edit waypoints, it just kept adding new ones and I had to re-pair my Mavic Pro every time I turned it on).  My only solution was to restore factory image.  It fixed My problem but I lost ALL of my waypoints.  We should be able to back these up.
