To clarify....my panels are not missing. Sorry. I lost my customization to
them and will have to rebuild them if I cannot find where that
customization would have been stored. I have full backups of all files in
my home directory going back daily for a month, so I can restore them if I
know where those settings are stored. I did not back up my panel settings
with the built in tool so that won't help. But the setting/customization
of my panels must be stored somewhere on the system because they loaded
after each reboot. Haha. Just can't fine where they are normally stored
in order to restore them from my backup.

Hello all,
I'm trying to find out where the panel configuration files are stored. I
have searched online and found that they may be stored in ~/.config/xfce4,
however, even after restoring that whole directory from backup I cannot get
my lost panels back. I have since learned how to use the 'Backup and
Restore' panel feature, but since the loss happened before I used that tool,
that does not help me now. What I do have is a regular backup of my entire
home directory going back about a month. But, I cannot seem to find the
right files to restore my panels.
Then I read about some configuration files being stored in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
- but that looks like a variable to me and not an actual location. I just
want to restore my panels from my backup files, but cannot find the right
ones. Any suggestions?
Running Xubuntu 20.04.2 LTS / XFCE 4.14
If your panels are actually *missing* then restoring the configuration
files isn't going to bring them back. All the configuration files do
is to tell the system what you want your panel(s) to look like.
What happens if you run 'xfce4-panel' from the command line?
