I´ve got a mysql-server that I´m administrate remotely with MySQL Workbench.
Now I´ve got a new computer and I cant find any solution to move my connections and instances-profiles to my new computer. This can´t be an unsolved question, huh? Not the first time this would happen for someone else.
Correction: It´s not the server-instances that I want to move. I need to export/move/backup my many client-profiles/instances-connections in MySQL Workbench.

On Windows, connection profiles are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\ UserName \Application Data\MySQL directory, where UserName is the name of the current Windows user. On Linux, the files are stored in the ~/. mysqlgui directory.
You don't need to copy any files manually as other answers suggest. On both Windows and Mac you can export all your settings within MySQL Workbench and restore to another system.
Select Tools > Configuration > Backup Connections This will export as a .zip. Then on your new new install just
Select Tools > Configuration > Restore Connections 
That's it!
