How can I find out the location of my (localdb) SQL Server 2012 database and back it up?

Question

I am using VS2012 and I have a database created:

(localdb)\v11.0 (SQL Server 11.0.2100 - T61\Alan) 

How can I find out the physical location of this database. How can I back this up? Can I just make a copy of the files, move these to another location and start the database again.

Here is my connection string:

<add name="DB1Context" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;Initial Catalog=DB1;Integrated Security=SSPI;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> 

Answer 1

By default, LocalDB database creates “*.mdf” files in the C:/Users/"username" directory.
