I want to write a small backup script that would take my shelf changes in IntelliJ from my local drive and put them on a network drive. But I can't locate the path to where these are stored on my local drive.
Any ideas?

By default, IntelliJ IDEA stores user-specific files for each IDE instance (configuration, caches, plugins, logs, and so on) in the user's home directory.
From the main menu, choose Git | Uncommitted Changes | Unstash Changes. Select the Git root where you want to apply a stash, and make sure that the correct branch is checked out. Select the stash you want to apply from the list. If you want to check which files are affected in the selected stash, click View.
Unshelving is how you restore the shelveset to your machine so you can keep working on it. It doesn't change the shelveset on the server (to do that you need to shelve things again and use the same shelveset name). One example for how I use it is to move changes between machines while I'm working on them.
git stash temporarily shelves (or stashes) changes you've made to your working copy so you can work on something else, and then come back and re-apply them later on.
For me it's $user.home/.IntelliJIdea90/config/shelf
I'm not sure if that changes on OSX or not. It seems like it might be different, but once you find the .IntelliJIdea90 directory, it's in /config/shelf.
Update for comment Here is my .IntelliJIdea80/config/shelf directory after shelving some changes in 8.1.3:
skrall@skralldesktop:~/.IntelliJIdea80/config/shelf$ ls
AnotherTestOfshelving.patch
skrall@skralldesktop:~/.IntelliJIdea80/config/shelf$
I'll startup my Windows VM and see if it's the same place on Windows.
Update With Windows
Same place. This is Vista, so it's C:\Users\skrall\.IntelliJ90\config\shelf Can you search your local hard drive for a directory named shelf? Or, if that doesn't work, search for *.patch

Instead of giving the fish, here is how to fish:

IntelliJ IDEA 15 on linux, shelved changes seem to be stored as individual files in the project directory, under the .shelf directory.
