Hi IanRW,
Yes, that is the key file.
But normally, you do not need to worry about how to re-use your previous configurations. SyncToy 2.1 itself will do things to approach this for you. And it is not recommended to maniputlate SyncToyDirPairs.bin or any other SyncToy metadata files manually.
Thanks
