Seeking The Missing File "account.srb", There is no such file in the Bat Folder/Directory
 
i have 5 different accounts and filters are not common, each account has its own filters.

I understood that the filters are stored in a file called account.srb (or "account.erb" in the event that when we're using an encrypted message).

When I went to copy the account.srb file (thus to have a back up copy of my current filters) noticed that the file "account.srb" is not in the Bat Main Folder/Directory. I searched on the computer for all possible file names, but I got no results.

the only file i saw with a similar ext is the file "Bat_srb.tip" which is a Tip file.

Has anybody had this problem before ?
is this the right file to copy and save as a back up ?
if not, where should i seek the proper file and what steps should i follow in order to trace my filters' files.

I'm using over two hundred filters and is a must to have a backup, will take me ages to create them from scrach.

in the Mail folder, where all the mail gets stored.
 
As  an add-on:
You'll find the common filters in the mail directory and the account based filters are to be found in the account directories (subfolders of the mail directory)

The default location for the mail directory would be in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application data\The Bat!
In case your config isn't the default, you can find the exact location at:
Options -> Preferences -> System -> Mail Directory
